Dear Parents,
We had Maths Day today. We had a Mental Sums Interclass challenge, followed by Maths activities. The children tried to work in pairs to build the tallest structure using newspapers and masking / scotchtape. From this activity, it can be seen that not many tried to think out of the box and a number wanted to give up easily saying that it was too difficult. We will be reflecting soon on this and I will arrange for another session for the children to learn from this experience to see if they can outdo themselves.
We also enjoyed the Shopping Game and the children took turns being the stall holder and buyer. They did this by swapping roles with 2 Generosity children. The children then recorded their purchases and also counted the change that they received. The children also learnt to interact and communicate in different roles (as buyer and as stall holder) with members of the other class.
We did not have time for the last activity - Bingo game for Multiplication and Division , so we will do it tomorrow.
P.S. Tomorrow, the children will be having unseen dictation. It will be based on what they have learnt thus far, and related to the big book that we are reading currently.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
Ow Yeong
Note: Things to bring and Homework have been given yesterday.
