Dear Parents,
We will be having two Learning Journeys this term. One will be with the rest of the level (as mentioned in my earlier posting) on either 27 or 28 Sept afternoon to a special Garden - more info will be given later. The other one is only for 1 Flexibility (as well as a small group of upper primary students in our school - less than 10), which I am organising to the National Museum. This will be on 10 November, second last week of school (Timing 1.30 to 5.30 pm).
If you are interested to to help out as facilitators ( as usual for all of my learning journeys, facilitators are f.o.c. - I am paying), please email Mrs Singh accordingly asap.
P.S. Mrs Singh - Can you please help to collate for both events and let me know final list so that I can put pupils in the respective groups? Thanks. Have a wonderful day!

Things to bring – Green Pen, Colour pencils , Journal , Story book on Time
Homework – No homework ( Prepare for Reading
---------
This week, as mentioned, we will be conducting assessments on the reading of a passage, as well as picture discussion with a given picture. We will be starting with Register no. 1.
I have reviewed with the children on this preparation yesterday. I have also spent time reviewing on the individual pupil's performance thus far academically and character/behaviour wise, so that they will know in which areas have they achieved excellence or are doing well, and in which areas do they need to improve further to achieve excellence.
For your information please. Thank you.
P.S. Information for the learning journey on either 27 or 28 Sept will be given later. It depends on guide availability and thus we will be either joining 1A to 1E on 27 or joining 1G to 1K on 28 Sept. This will only be made know to me at a later date. Interested parents to go along with us in the afternoon - (timing not fixed yet - but to keep 1.30 to 5 pm free if you are interested). Mdm Aidi and Mrs Nair would be helping to go with 1F for the Learning Journey.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today I've not printed out the homework and things to bring list for the pupils as they are praticising to copy things down today. I will periodically let them practise in this way, so that they know what to do in future.
Homework (Due 16 Sept) - This Friday
1) Journal - How have I spent my September holidays ( They are to write as usual and to illustrate or to paste a picture.)
2) To make a story book on 'Time'.
I have already explained to them. They are to make a booklet - this time it must be handwritten (as I will assess penmanship as well) ,but they can choose to cut and paste illustrations if need be.
Size can be range from half folded A4 size (about B5), to A4 or even A3 size. It is their choice.
Cover page - To write the title, and their name as author and illustrator. Both back and front covers can be decorated.
They may choose to include a content page but this is optional.
They must do at least 2 'stories' - No maximum limit to the number of stories submitted. Points are given per 'story'.
Each 'story' include a clock face with the correct time shown ( we are only practising and learning full hours e.g. 2 o'clock, 6 o'clock and half hours e.g. half past 3 , half past 5 ) and the activity that they usually do at that time. e..g
A clock face showing 7 o'clock - with hour and minute hands shown clearly. Then they are to write under that e.g. I get up every morning at seven o'clock.
A clock face showing half past 12 - with hour and minute hands shown clearly. Then they are to write under that e.g. I usually have my lunch at half past twelve.
They can include any pictorial illustrations as well.
As time is needed for the given homework, and there is Spelling for Week 1 this Thursday, this homework will be due this Friday.
Things to bring tomorrow:
a) Green pen
b) Colour pencils
c) 3 sheets of A4 size blank paper
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

12 September
Dear Parents,
Today we welcomed the pupils back to school for Term 4, and there was an emphasis of excellence - the value of the term, in terms of character and academic learning.
We have gone through the English Quiz and the pupils have done their corrections. I will be returning this quiz paper together with the Maths Quiz paper done earlier by this week (some pupils have not done their Maths paper due to their absence), for your viewing and signature.
Here's the homework and things to bring list:

Information on Maths Quiz (T4W2)
Dear Parents,
I will be reminding the children once again when school reopens next week, but I thought I should inform you beforehand. The Maths department has made a change and thus there will be Maths Quiz in Term 4 Week 2. It will be a problem solving quiz. There will be 5 questions and each question will be 4 marks. It will be on addition and subtraction. This quiz has a 10% weightage. (The original plan was to assess on model drawing but the department has recently changed the emphasis, after a review. )
Model drawing during all quizzes are encouraged but NOT compulsory.
For your information please. Thank you.
Hope that your child is enjoying his/her holidays!

Dear Parents,
Today, the children will only need to bring their pencil box (making sure that they have a green pen along with the rest of their stationery) as well as their Maths/ English files ( if they have not handed in as yet).
Today, the children will be having a Teachers' Day Concert, followed by an exercise routine (mass exercise). As I will be away today for a meeting, I have arranged to give out rewards yesterday. The children will be having their Spelling (for Week 10), complete their English Worksheets ( which I have already gone through yesterday ) as class work - it was done half way yesterday, and Mental Sums. Mrs Nair and the relief teacher will be assisting in this matter.
I've given out a worksheet for them to interview you and to get ready a photography of themselves as a baby. As mentioned to the children, the completed interview as well as the photograph (it can be a replicate of an actual photograph or even a photocopy, if you cannot spare the original photograph - as it will be pasted on their writing worksheet) have to be submitted on Day 1 of Term 4 Week 1. There will be a writing quiz for them on this topic. I will be giving them more information to prepare on Day 1 Term 4 Week 1, before arranging for the writing quiz on Thursday of that week. The children will be asked to write on the topic - when I was a baby, using the information gathered from the interview. In order for the children to be more ready for this writing quiz, I have chosen to do it in Term 4 Week 1 Thursday, instead of doing it this week.
I've already issued holiday homework last week. Thus I will not mention again here. Here's wishing your child a very happy September holiday!
Take care. Have a wonderful day!
