Dear Parents,

I have informed the children about the Maths Practical Assessment on Friday ( this component is counted in the calculation of marks) . I have also given them the worksheets on Mass, done earlier, for them to a) look through and do corrections if any b) get your signature c) review and be familiar with the type of questions that may come up for the practical assessment. I will collect the worksheets from them for filing on Friday.

I have also informed them about Show and Tell ( this component is counted in the calculation of marks) on 'My Family'. They will be informed of the assessment rubrics next week. I am giving them more than 2 weeks to prepare.

Here's the other information given on the 'homework/things to bring' list:-

Re: 1 July

Dear Parents,
This is a reminder once again that Monday is a school holiday - Youth Day. There is no school that day. I will see your child on Tuesday 5 July.

By the way, apologies for any confusion re the spelling list. I have waited for the worksheets to be printed for the level but it was not ready by end of Term 2. In the end I printed it myself from the school resource system.  That was the Term 3 list given just before school closes. However, during the holidays, the English department made some changes to the Spelling list and thus you will find that the list printed by the level given this week (Term 3 and 4) may be a bit different from the list given earlier. In order not to confuse the children, I have asked the children to discard the Term 3 list given earlier. Please refer to the Term 3 and 4 Spelling lists given this week when preparing your child for his or her spelling. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Home work has been issued yesterday - due on 5 July. Things to bring on 5 July will be whatever I have asked the children to bring for today (1 July).

Here's wishing you and your child a very restful and good long weekend!

Have a wonderful day!

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!

Technical issues ---lead.com and problemsums.com

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!
