Dear Parents,
Homework for today is 2 Maths Worksheets (Stapled) - WS 3 & 4 for Numbers to 20. We have gone through in class as to how they should be answering it. As for things to bring tomorrow, they are to bring 3 sheets of A4 size blank paper, colour pencils and green pen.
Today, we practised picture discussion in class. We will start to assess in terms of reading and picture discussion tomorrow.
Things to bring for Friday 1 April (the day of the Learning Journey)
A small bag to hold :
- Snacks ( There will be some simple snacks given at the farm but it is good to pack something along in case it is not enough or in case your child does not eat the snacks provided by the farm.)
- Water bottle with water
- cap
- rain coat / umbrella
- small clip board with pencil attached
-stationery such as extra pencil and erasers
Homework issued tomorrow will be online via Problemsums.com. It will only be issued tomorrow. In this way, your child need not hand in any work on Friday.
This coming Friday is also Reward Friday, after the class returns from the Learning Journey.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today's homework is English Comprehension (Worksheets 1 and 2). We have gone through in class the key points in the reading passages and have showed the children how to take note of key points to better understand the passage. In this way, they would be able to comprehend and answer the questions better.
Things to bring is the same as yesterday :- Green pen and colour pencils. (This list is kept to a minimum because your child is copying down on his/her own.)
Today we have gone through how one can talk about a picture and discuss about it, using the SPARO method. We went through in class and the pupils brought back a handout to remember what we have gone through in class. The print is smaller as I wanted to include all the slides in one page, and the children have seen the actual slides in class - full screen size, so they should already know what the words are. This handout is meant as a reminder.
I would be assessing the children on a reading passage and oral picture discussion soon. There will be further practice in class before the assessment.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

28 March 2011
Dear Parents,
I am asking your child to copy into their pupil diary these 3 days as there is relatively fewer things to copy and also to get them to practise. Thus there is no typed homework and things to bring list these 3 days ( 28 to 30 March).
You would also be able to take this opportunity to see if your child has copied as instructed.
Homework today - To write an addition story with illustration on a piece of A4 size blank paper for numbers 0 to 20.
Explanation given in class: They have done addition stories before. The difference now is that they should be using larger numbers e.g. John has 10 apples. He bought 5 more apples. How many apples does he have altogether?
10+5= 15
He has 15 apples altogether.
(To draw the 10 and 5 apples - and colour the pictures drawn).
Things to bring: colour pencils, green pen
By the way, we would be conducting the reading assessment and pictorial assessment ( to read a passage as well as to talk about a given picture) these 2 weeks.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Information for 25 March
Dear Parents,
Today, we had a successful tea party during recess. This is in line with our big book "Crocodile Tea" and I wanted to create an experience with them, having a tea party together in the canteen today. We did a class story today and they also did pair writing about the experience. For their homework for English this weekend, they are to write about this experience. Please do ask them to illustrate as well. Please write it in your child's perspective with a description of the tea party and whether he/she enjoyed it.
For Maths, they are given two worksheets - Numbers 0 to 20 (WS 1 and 2). They are to follow the written instructions given on the worksheets to complete. It is already stapled for them.
Homework must be handed in on Monday.
Today, we have also completed filing (it took us two long days and I will still need to work with individual children some time this term to ensure that everything is filed properly) and the children are given their Enlish blue file and the Maths pink file to take home for your signature. Please help to sign on each stack of worksheets (on the cover sheet) - there should be 3 stacks to be signed for English and 3 stacks to be signed for Maths. I will be collecting the files back on Monday as well. I've also gone through for the children to do their corrections, besides filing.
Next Friday, our class would be going to the Bollywood Veggies. I will again be giving groups their instant camera to take pictures of the fruits and vegetables, and of the activity done there. I'll give a more detailed update later. There will be another project after the learning journey. They will be writing poems (with adjectives) about their experience or about the fruit and vegetables that they have seen. Parents who have volunteered and given your name to Mrs Singh are to meet me at 12.30 for a briefing on 1 April outside the hall.
Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend!
