Dear Parents,
Today, we had just enough time for our Maths activity (quiz), as well as making of your child's favourite dish using modelling clay. As it was already 5.30pm and the end of the lesson by then, our class has agreed to do show and tell tomorrow. There will be peer evaluation as well, besides my assessment of their presentation. I will be using the visualizer to show the class the dishes created, and each child will stand in front of the class to present. They will have the choice of whether they would like to use the microphone.
I have already given each child 3 handouts today (the homework list, p50 activity book printout, as well as pictures of fruits and vegetables (for those who need them in their assignment). I have also allowed each child to select 3 photographs of fruits or vegetables taken at the Bollywood Veggies so that they can use the photographs in their assignment.
By the way, as it is taking me a longer time to prepare the individual letters for you, I will only be giving you the letter and the results of the maths quizzes and reading etc on Monday. For your understanding please.
Thank you.

Dear Parents,
I am working to complete my letter for you to review the progress of your child thus far. I hope to pass it to you via your child by tomorrow. I will also be sending back the results of the 2 Maths quizzes and that of the reading and picture conversation assessments.
Due to the long weekend, I am issuing homework today and will collect it only on Monday. This will give your child the flexibility and time to complete the work assigned. I've printed the homework list - reproduced below (hopefully the pictures comes out as well), and I've also printed pg 50 of the activity book instructions (shrunk to half a page) so that your child can refer to it. I am also issuing the journals as well as the photographs taken at Bollywood veggies (and giving an extra copy of fruits and vegetables pictures) for use for their assignments.
Here's the homework and things to bring list for both tomorrow and Monday:-
Oranges
(this is supposed to be pictures of oranges in a row)
Thank you. Have a wonderful day! P.S. We are having show and tell these 2 days. Your child will also be evaluating for other presenters.

Dear Parents,
Homework today would be the exercise on Problemsums.com (due Wed 20 April). Things to bring will be
: scissors, gluestick, colour pencils and green pen.
The pupils will be asked later this week to 'prepare' their favourite dish using platicine (those who may not take well to plasticine can use other materials like paper etc to make) and to use it for Show-and-Tell at end week. I will be providing the necessary plasticine for them on Wed/Thurs. Show-and-Tell will be assessed as a bite-size assessment this time round.
I am still trying to complete my oral assessment (from register 19 onwards) and will be sending back this information (results of the oral reading and picture conversation) as well as the two maths quizzes ( already marked but waiting for the oral results ) at end of week.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, for those who are unable to submit their homework and have told me their reasons are given an extension for their homework yesterday. The rest have handled in.
For this weekend, the pupils are to complete 5 worksheets from the stapled set of 'The Hungry Giant' English worksheets. They are not to complete all. The 5 worksheets are 9.1, 9.1a, 9.7, Word Order 1 and Punctuation.
Things to bring will include:
a) Colour pencils
b) Green pen
I will continue the reading assessments next week as we have not done this. May I know if there are any pupils who cannot play with plasticine? I am going to give an assignment next week re this for English. (Mrs Singh, please help to send this out to parents not on the blog. Thanks.)
Many thanks to the parents who helped at sandwich making yesterday! The children have enjoyed themselves. Much appreciated!
P.S. As I want to reinforce care and share (to be nice and how to resolve conflicts), as well as to be more on task (instead of talking and playing when they are supposed to be doing work), I have delayed rewards day to Monday to observe the pupils one more day as the majority of the class was not ready today. For your information please.
Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend!
