29 June

Dear Parents,

As you would have already known, your child has been given a leadership role in class. He / She is to wear their badge daily. The children would be given the opportunity in different situations to develop their leadership capacity.

I've just given them the Term 3 and 4 spelling list. The previous Term 3 list was printed by me as the level ones were not ready. Today's handouts are from the level. Thus there would be a duplicate for Term 3. Fyi please.

Here's the information for homework and things to bring:
29 June 2011

There is NO homework today. Homework due on 30 June are to be handed in by tomorrow.

Things to bring on 30 June 

-         Maths Activity Book 1B Part 1 
-         Maths Coursebook 1A
-         Homework due 30 June 
-         Colour pencils
-         Green Pen


Please note that we are still doing Mass from Book 1A this week, but we will be moving to Book 1B next week. Thus we are collecting the Activity Book 1B part 1 first tomorrow.
Homework will be issued tomorrow.

Thanks. Have a wonderful day!

Welcome back!

Dear Parents,
I hope that your child had a good and restful holiday this June. I am looking forward to teaching your child this Semester. We will be moving towards ability teaching and thus there will be optional work given for certain groups of children, and worksheets given may be slightly different to better stretch your child's learning, or to review with your child the basic concepts to reinforce learning. Your child would have a choice to take up additional optional tasks if they so deem it suitable as well, as I believe in choices given for the children for better development and learning.

Things to bring on 27 June (as given earlier)
Things to bring on Term 3 Week 1 , 27 June

1) The portfolio file - all documented feedback forms signed by you
2) The report book  - signed by you
3) Homework - creative book review
4) Small Whiteboard, duster and marker
5) A book that your child has read and loved very much during the holidays
 
We will also be looking into leadership roles for the children as well and every child would have an opportunity to take on at least one such role e.g. subject group leader in class.
 
Please note that there is a Learning Journey scheduled for 1 F on 13 July Wednesday from 2pm to 4.30pm during school hours. We will be going to Qianhu Fish Farm. I will need the help of about 6 to 7 parent volunteers. Interested parents, please email Mrs Singh and cc me to volunteer. It will be foc for 1F parents as I am providing the funding for this.
 
Thank you. I look forward to working with you once again this Semester to guide your child to greater heights:)
 
Have a wonderful weekend!

Meet The Parents Session 27 May 2011

Dear Parents,
As you would have already known, there is no school tomorrow for your child.  I look forward to meeting you tomorrow as scheduled. As mentioned earlier, there is a mini-exhibition ( 4 panels - front and back) documenting some of the lessons your child has experienced in school. Many thanks to Mrs Singh, our parent coordinator, for helping me set up this exhibition:) There is a panel for you to leave your feedback or comments. Your child would be able to view that too, when school reopens or if your child follows you to school. If your child is with you, they will need to be in their school uniform as this is school policy.

See you tomorrow then:) You will be receiving a no. of documents ( portfolio, report book, maths mid year quiz, short  mid year review from me, and class statistics on how the class has fared as a whole for you to gauge your child's level of competency with respect to certain components/ subjects).

Have a wonderful day! Happy Holidays to your child!
Btw, they have just received their rewards from me today.
Holiday homework was given earlier on Tuesday.
Thank you.

Re: 23 May

Dear Parents,
The children were not able to complete their worksheet on Mass (Only 6 did). Thus for the 24 children who did not complete, they would have this as homework.

I will brief them on their project tomorrow and will also issue holiday homework.
They will be doing a Maths Review Paper tomorrow - to revise all topics learnt.

Thanks. Have a wonderful day!
