29 April 2011 (Additional information)

Dear Parents,

I have reviewed with the children with regard to their homework (all components), and have gone through aspects that they should know, so that they can better attempt their homework, as well as how to go into lead.com.sg if they do not know what to do. For those who are paying attention, they should know what to do. If not, please ask them to come and ask me again on Tuesday.

Today, I have given them their spelling book to bring home for your signature. Please help to look through and to  sign it on the inside of the front cover of the book. They will hand in their spelling book on Tuesday.

Thank you. I will see your child on Tuesday as Monday is a holiday.
I've already told them that as Friday 6 May (there is no school for the P1s and 2s) due to the elections arrangements, I will issue rewards on Thursday instead to deserving children.

Thank you. Have a wonderful long weekend!
Happy Labour Day!

21 April 2011

Dear Parents,
Today, we have completed our Show and Tell in class for all pupils except for 2 absentees. They will do so on Monday. The children have also done peer evaluation and in that process, they are also made aware of the pointers that they must take note of when presenting. They were given the 'rubrics' for evaluation and they tick when they observed that their friends have done that e.g. maintained eye contact, or spoke clearly. After the Show and Tell, we managed to have about 5 minutes of walk through our "mini-exhibition" of favourite dishes displayed in the adjoining MT classroom (which was vacant then).

I will be including the results of this evaluation in the feedback given to you on Monday.   Here's a reminder that the pupils have to complete 2 assigned tasks for each subject. Please refer to my note on 20 April.

For English, we have concluded the big book - The Hungry Giant, and for Maths, we will be starting on the topic of Length. Thank you.

Happy Holidays to all! Have a wonderful long weekend!
