Uncompleted Class Writing ( for some pupils)

Dear Parents,
 Despite being given 55 minutes to complete the class writing, some pupils were unable to complete. Thus I have allowed them to bring it back home, to be handed in tomorrow. They were instructed to have the blank sheets as cover pages- front and back, and to write using the foolscap paper, which will be enclosed in between the cover pages. They are giving their own title and they are creating a book about themselves being a fish on the fish farm. We have discussed what they can include in their writing e.g. The type of fish they were, and how did they look like, how did they get to the fish farm, what happened to them on the fish farm, what happened to them in the end. The children are the authors and illustrators of their own created story.

Fyi please. Thank you. Have a wonderful evening.

P.S. Tomorrow, the class will be having English lessons via learning centres (listening centre, word study centre, reading centre, grammar study and vocabulary study). I have already briefed them about it. Each leader has also been given a role at each of the centres. I have also briefed the children on Show-and-Tell and when will their turn be.

18 July 2011

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!
