Dear Parents,
Today I've completed the assessment of Reading and Picture discussion till register number 22. I will continue with register number 23 tomorrow and intend to complete the assessment by tomorrow.
Homework for these 2 days will be preparation for the word problem Maths Quiz this coming Thursday. The children can use this time to practise word problems (addition and subtraction within 100). Model drawing is optional (but encouraged). Most importantly, the children must remember to write the mathematical statement e.g. 23+12 = 35 or 45-15 = 30 , the working must be shown in the working column, as well as the final statement to answer the question.
No homework will be issued tomorrow as besides the quiz, there is also spelling on Thursday as usual.
Things to bring on 21 September will just be a green pen and colour pencils.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Just to share an email (with permission granted) regarding the website introduced (ezschool.com)
Dear Ms Ow Yeong
I’d like to thank you for introducing the ezschool website to us. I understand the concerns of the parentas I have accessed the website. However, I’d like to share with you something I find positive about it.
Besides the Adjectives homework, I asked Tristanto try out the Maths segment, in particular, Tell Time and Set & Show.It’s very creative and impressive! Its Time exercises are even better than those from lead.com.
My personal opinion is that our kids can still access the website for its educational objective, but under adult supervision. I’m just sharing my two cents’ worth with you.
Have a nice weekend.
Regards
Mrs Chong

Apologies for the pop up Ads on the English site
Dear Parents,
I was informed that there were pop up ads with unsuitable advertisements on the English site given for homework. As such, I have asked Mrs Singh to send out an urgent email to notify you to check first before asking the children to go in, and I will excuse the child from the assignment. Thank you Mrs Singh for the prompt action! For those whose computers have filters, like the ones in school (the place where I have accessed and checked the site), there was no such issues, and thus I was not aware of this problem. Mrs Singh's computer did not present any such problems as well. Thanks to two parents who brought this issue up to me via hp, we have tried to rectify this issue with the urgent email. Hope things are alright at your side. Thanks for being alert and being a great team mate in guiding the children!
With such interference from such pop up ads even for educational sites, I will not be using such educational sites, and will reserve the IT usage to only lead.com.sg and problemsums.com in future - which are totally safe. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Updates on Assessment on Reading and Picture Discussion/ Class Party matters
Dear Parents,
I've finished assessing Register Numbers 1 to 16. This has taken me two days. Thus a rough estimate would be about 7 to 8 students assessed per day. As I will not be in school on Monday, I will continue the assessment of Register Numbers 17 onwards on Tuesday. I am aiming to complete all assessments by Wednesday.
You will then receive the feedback forms on the results of the Reading and Picture Discussion, by either Thursday or Friday.
Fyi please. Thank you.
Have a wonderful weekend!
P.S. Reward day for the children will be this coming Friday (week 2). As there will be a no. of days missed due to PSLE marking and other matters, next reward day - the mega end of year reward - will be in Week 9.
There will be a class party for the children in Week 10
(Mrs Singh, can you please coordinate with the parents to organise this? - On last day of school. Can we have a pot luck - but to bear in mind that food must all be Halal - and for hygiene purposes to ensure that the food is delivered only in the afternoon (to avoid chances of food spoilage) , and to have food for the vegetarians as well. Games can be planned for the children. Is it ok if for this event, I take a back seat and with Mrs Ho, just be a participant? Thanks:) Hope it is not too much to ask for this. )
Parents who are interested to work on this for the children, can you pl approach Mrs Singh?
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Further updates (16 Sept )
Dear Parents,
I've given out the learning journey consent forms to the pupils. They will be going for their learning journey on 27 Sept. They will have an early recess that day, and leave at around 2.30 pm and return to school 5 plus pm. They will have normal lessons from 1 pm to 2.30 pm, and from 5 plus pm to 6.30 pm. Money for the learning journey will be collected by Mrs Nair from Monday onwards.
I've also given out the plastic folder with 4 items inside, for your perusal and signature. The items include my cover letter indicating the class marks for the 2 quizzes, as well as the Term 3 bite sized assessment scores (For English, we added scores from the Show-and-Tell, Listening Comprehension as well as the English Quiz. For Maths, we added scores from the Practical quiz and the two written quizzes.) The English Quiz and Maths Quiz Question papers, as well as the Topical Progress report for Unit 3 (Addition and Subtraction within 100) are the other 3 items in the plastic folder. I've written down the percentage scores as well as the Band ( 1 - 85 and more marks, 2 - 70 to 84, 3 - 50 to 69, 4 - 49 and less). This is NOT meant to judge the children's performance, but to serve as an indication of their readiness for formal assessments. I feel that we should focus on the positive aspects and guide the children towards success. This indication is for parents to have a rough idea of the readiness, so that efforts can be made to encourage the children further. I've NOT explained this Band and scores to the children - cover letter NOT explained, as this is meant for parents only.
This folder with all 3 items - you may wish to keep the cover letter, must be returned on Monday. Mrs Nair would be collecting them.
Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend!
