RE: Homework Assignment for 30 June to 4 July

Dear Parents,

I've finally managed to complete the assigning of homework on lead.com.sg and problems.com ( there was a problem earlier and the system did not respond a few times during assigning). My sincere apologies for any inconvience caused.

As there is a long break with Monday being a school holiday, I've assigned a number of computer assignments and a creative English assignment. Please do help to pace the children when getting the assignments done and not lumped it together for completion in one night. It is meant for completion over four days.

By the way, there will be a new pupil joining 1 Flexibility from 5 July onwards. I've already informed the class regarding this.

P.S. Many thanks to Mrs Singh for putting up the annoucement on my behalf as I was unable to blog earlier.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
The homework for lead.com and problemsums.com will be assigned by Ms Ow Yeong towards the  later part of tonight. She was unable to assign as there were some technical problems in the afternoon.
Thx n Rgds,
Mrs Singh

Dear Parents,

There will be a practical assessment for the children on 8 July - but I am just telling the you earlier, and not the children yet, so that you are aware. It will be on Mass. They will be asked to compare the mass of different materials give to them and they will be given a balance. All they need to look at is which is heavier and which is lighter. They do NOT need to know metric units. They may also compare items provided with given units e.g. blocks ( cubes). They have learnt comparison in class via computer, via projects, via written work.


Homework (Due 5 July)

1.      Problem Sums.com exercises
2.      Lead.com.sg exercises
3.      Create a story with colour illustrations about a lazy animal. You may either write or type. Size of paper to be used will be A4. You may choose to present it in a booklet format or just on a piece of paper.

Things to bring on 1 July
-         Maths Coursebook 1B
-         A4 Size blank paper – 3 sheets
-         Colour pencils
-         Colour markers
-         Scotch tape
-         Scissors
-         $13.20 ( if not handed in yet)

Thanks. Have a wonderful day!

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

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!
Ow Yeong
