Dear Parents,
Today, we had a very exciting time having the children doing the Readers' Theatre in groups. They had taken time to practise and I attempted to videotape their performance so that we can review tomorrow as a class. Hope it is properly captured on video.
We then reviewed the honours' list for Problemsums.com (individual and class), and then did classwork for Maths, with peer checking at the end, on the topic of Money.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today we had a great time discussing in pairs and later in groups of fours on what are the important concepts to learn for the topic of Money. We then reviewed as a class. We also explored and reviewed the simple past tense verbs via videos and a competition on who can list the most simple past tense verbs. Lastly, there was a demonstration on what to do for Readers' Theatre using the small book "Is the Wise Owl wise?". We then discuss the different aspects of the Readers' Theatre. The children would be working in groups on this end of the week - on Thursday and Friday.
Tomorrow, I will away in the afternoon for an MOE meeting. As such, I have arranged for the children to do their written work in class tomorrow. For English, it will be worksheets on "Is the Wise Owl Wise?". I've gone through with them today as to how to do the worksheets. For those who signed up for ICAS writing, it will also be tomorrow. For Maths, it will be worksheets on Money.
There is NO homework today as homework was issued on Monday and due Thursday. Homework will be next issued on Thursday and due next Tuesday as Monday is a holiday.
Things to bring for tomorrow include:
a) Maths CB 2B
b) colouring materials like coloured markers and colour pencils
c) A4 size blank paper - 4 sheets
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

25 June (Overview of lessons)
Dear Parents,
Today we had a briefing in class about 'Care'. The children learnt that care comprises of not only looking after others who may not be well, but also entails caring about one's work - being careful and taking more care in one's work will lead to excellence.
We also had a Maths Mental Sums game and story. I told the children a maths story and the children learnt to take down notes and to answer 3 questions (involving calculations) based on the clues in the story.
The children practised the concept of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division via this activity.
Next, we had the children think of an animal sound and for the others to guess the sound, as an introductory activity. Then we read a big book 'Is the wise owl wise?'. There were discussions on whether the wise owl was really wise. The children did a short review on this book as a follow-up exercise. Some children could not finish and was told to bring it back to complete. Two- thirds of the class completed this review and handed it in. We will be further exploring the language component of the book tomorrow, as well as practising the readers' theatre with this book.
Fyi please.
Thank you.

Dear Parents,
Welcome back to Semester Two:)
We have given your child a zipbag from IKEA holding a letter for you, a yellow card for your completion and 15 $10 tickets for the school anniversary's carnival. I would highly encourage the sale of ALL the tickets (tickets can be either for your own child or for others who are coming for our school anniversary carnival on 4 Aug). Tickets are to be sold by block of $10. If there is any financial difficulty, I am willing to absorb the cost of the tickets so that your child can still come to enjoy the carnival.
If tickets are lost, you must either make a police report, or to make full payment for the tickets.
Collection date is 16 July and the zip block as well as the completed yellow card, and a cheque ( we prefer cheques) should be inside for collection by us.
Additional tickets if needed are sold and I will inform you of the dates later this week. All proceeds go to supporting the school in non-standard facilities that will benefit the children when they move back to the original site. So this is a worthwhile fund raising cause. I hope that you will give your best support!
Today I've typed out the Things to bring and Homelist for the children. Here it is below:
Thank you.
PS. I have also given your child a copy of the Term 3 Spelling list today,and there is a new timetable as well.
Thanks.
