Information for 12 May

Dear Parents,
Here's an earlier release of information for today, as the next possible posting will be tomorrow due to my tight schedule today , which will be too late.

Things to bring for Friday 13 May 

-         green pen

-         colour pencils and colour markers

-         A4 size papers – 3 sheets

Homework :

Problemsums.com  (Review) 

P.S. The English and Maths files are to be submitted mid week - next week. I will be checking on the children's corrections and filing. More information will be given regarding filing at a later date so that future filing can be done by the children at home, as it is taking a long time for the children to do so in class. 

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

11 May 2011 Matters

Dear Parents,
Today, the children received their Maths file. They are to do their corrections (those that they know how to do) and to get your signature on the topical cover pages. For those who have not completed their self assessment by colouring the smiley or frowning faces in the cover pages of the topical worksheets, they are to complete it. I will be going through the corrections with them tomorrow on the more challenging worksheets. We did not have time today as the children had only 4 periods with me, to do their Maths quiz, and to have e-learning at the computer lab. The children are to bring their Maths file tomorrow so that we can do those corrections together. They are also to bring their green pen and an English story book to share with others.
The children have copied this list in their pupil diary. Homewrok will be to do their corrections that they know how to, in the Maths file.

The files - English and Maths - will only be collected back mid next week for file check.

Confirmed meeting time for Meet the Parent session will be given out tomorrow.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

10 May 2011 matters

Dear Parents,

Timetable is suspended this week during the P2 exams. This means that the children will not be following the normal timetable. Thus the children will not need to bring their Art or SS or HE materials if it is during the P2 exams days. Today, there is no homework. The children have received their English file (blue) and have to review and check that they have done all their corrections and to get your signature for those with cover pages requiring your signature. I will only collect the file next week. Mrs Nair and I have tried to file in the worksheets for the pupils as they were messed up when I got them to file last Thursday. We will be working on the filing of the  Maths files as well and hope to be able to return them tomorrow or latest Wed.

The children have copied in their pupil diary today : No homework today. They will have to bring their green pen, colour pencils and 3 sheets of A4 size blank paper tomorrow.

The pupils have also received their rewards today as they were not ready for rewards last Thursday.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
