Dear Parents,
All the pupils have completed their Maths Practical Quiz. Tomorrow, the time table will be suspended as the P2s are having their exams, and English teachers are deployed to invigilate in the earlier part of the school day. Thus the children will most probably be having MT lessons in the earlier part of the day. The timetable for tomorrow will only be out tomorrow, but not to worry, the children will still be doing their work in class tomorrow: a) Spelling (Week 5) b) English Review paper to practise as an assessment c) Maths Review paper to practise as an assessment.
Please do note that there will be an English Quiz on 24 Oct, on everything learnt thus far. We will return the files and Grammar Book again for the week long holiday for the children (during PSLE marking days). I will be away the whole of next week due to my PSLE duties ( including an extra cluster duty on Friday). I have arranged for the children to do revision exercises next Friday as well. For Homework, I will be arranging e-learning exercises for the children for next week.
Rest assured that learning opportunities have not be compromised, as during my absence, the children are all gainfully occupied, reviewing their learning via written exercises.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, the children will be doing an integrated project (involving English and Maths skills) in class today. Homework assigned will be all from Problemsums.com and Lead.com.sg. They are due end of this week on Friday. Please help to pace the exercises for the children so that they do not do everything all in one day. This will not be good for their eyes.
I will also be assessing the children individually from Tuesday to Friday in class from register numbers 9 onwards for their Maths Practical Quiz on Time and Money. Thus the children will be doing their classwork this week, while I am doing the individual assessment, and there would not be any written homework.
Things to bring (for the whole week)
- colour pencils
- green pen
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
We will be having the Maths Practical Quiz on Time and Money ( for the children to show timing on practice clocks and to tell the time, as well as to be able to tell the amounts of money given and know which amounts are more or less). It will be done on a one-to-one basis with me. (Starting with Register number 1 today, I will be calling them out one at a time.) As such, due to the limited involved in conducting the quiz this week, I will be most be having this today all the way till next week as well. The children will be doing written work when I am doing the quiz with a particular child.
For your information please.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
We read a new book "Shark in the Park" today, as well as a lesson on Multiplication (learning about equal groups, multiplication = repeated addition (of the same number) , how to write multiplication sentences, and how to write a multiplication story).
We also took a long time to go through the Comprehension questions in the homework worksheets ( except the last worksheet so that the children can try on their own), stressing on how they can answer 'Why' questions - to answer directly but without "because".
E.g. Why was he late?
He missed the bus.
Although it is also right if the answer is " He was late because he missed the bus.", children will then to make mistakes by copying the whole sentence. Thus they are highly encouraged to answer directly in the correct tense and in a FULL sentence.
The children were also reminded not to 'lift' answers by copying word for word from the comprehension passages. They can choose to rephrase the sentences from the passage and answer according to the questions given. I have shown them how to do this for the first 3 exercises. I will go through their answers once again to remind them of the proper way of answering next week, when we review comprehension skills again in class.
Here's the homework and things to bring list:
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
P.S. I've explained the whole list to the class during a 10 minutes briefing. Including what to bring e.g. pictures of objects.

Dear Parents,
Today the children spent about half an hour copying things into the pupil diary. Homework was: English Worksheet (Whose Hooves) LS 27.4, LS 27.5, LS 27.6 and Grammar Cloze Worksheet. Some students had done some of the worksheets in class so they might not have to do all 4 worksheets. They are to bring this set of worksheets to school tomorrow. The children are also to complete the Maths classwork (They were given 45 minutes in class today but some could not finish - to create a booklet - to create the cover page, and illustrate by cutting and pasting given amounts ( I actually gave 3 examples in class, but if they wish to create their own amounts, it is okay.) For each page they are to put e.g.
Cut and paste 2 $10 notes and a $5 note and they must colour the notes as well. At the bottom of the page, they are to write $25
25 dollars
twenty-five dollars
That will complete one page. They are to do at least 3 pages. No maximum limit depending on the time given.
They are to bring it back tomorrow.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
