Dear Parents,

Hope that your child had a good weekend! I'll be returning the Maths and English materials to be kept at home ( materials from the Maths and English files from Semester 1, as well as activity books, and listening comprehension booklets). I have bought them a file holder so that they can bring it home easily and can then "archive" the materials and need not bring them to school anymore. In this way, the Maths and English files will then be lighter and ready for just Semester 2 work. Things will also not be messed up if the materials drop from the files during filing this semester.)

Btw, here's the homework and things to bring list.

18 July 2011

Homework (Due 20 July)

-         Journal : My visit to the Fish Farm  (with illustrations)

-         Maths – to learn the spelling of numerals in words (From one to one hundred)  - to be assessed on Wednesday

Things to bring (on Tuesday 19 July)

-         Foolscap Paper – 3 sheets

-         Maths Coursebook 1B

-         Colour pencils

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Re: Today's Learning Journey

Dear Parents,

Today the children enjoyed themselves at Qian Hu Fish Farm. Each child was given some fishes to bring back at the end. They would be completing their worksheets in class, as well as doing class writing tomorrow about today's visits.

Marc's father has taken some photographs and has emailed me. I have asked Mrs Singh to help put it up on this blog for your viewing pleasure. I will be showing them to the children tomorrow before our class writing. Many thanks to Marc's father, as well as the other 9 parent volunteers who have helped us today ( Taran's mother, Mushfiqur's mother, Natalie Phua's mother, Saricha's mother, Shreyas' father, Kabir's father, Stephanie's mother, Nigel's mother and Rahul's mother). Thank you for making the trip a success for the children :) If you have taken photographs of the children or of the activities at the farm, can you please email me so that I can show it to the children as well?

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
