Dear Parents,
Today due to the fact that we had a fire drill (our first for the P1s), and only certain periods were allocated to me (due to timetable suspension today), we had a more challenging time completing our work but we managed to do all that we are supposed to do. Today, the children reviewed multiplication. We had also spent a lot of time briefing on homework and other matters on the handout given today. The children are given their plastic folder (with their Maths practical quiz, Spelling worksheet, as well as their writing quiz) and were told that these were to be returned next Friday. They were also given their Maths and English files to be returned next Friday for further filing. We will return the files on Friday again after the filing. We did not have time to complete more filing today. They were also given their blue Grammar Book back as well for revision. Some pupils have not completed their Grammar classwork, so they will complete as homework. We will review the rest of the pages done after all have completed next Friday.
Please be reminded that there is NO school from 17 Oct to 20 Oct. Pupils will return to school next Friday.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, the children will be doing their revision exercises in class, as well as Spelling. Tomorrow, I will be returning their English and Maths files, Grammar Book and a clear plastic folder with Maths Practical Quiz results, Individual Writing Quiz results and Spelling worksheet for your signature. I will be briefing the children tomorrow regarding what to do for the next week - whole week (1st 4 days no school, and to come back on Friday - work will be assigned via Mrs Nair).
For the Hindi children who may need to prepare for their MT exam this coming Saturday, I will be extending the deadline (if there is a need) for the e-homework due 14 Oct, till next Friday so that they will have time to prepare for their MT exam. For those who have submitted, please ignore this part of the message. I was informed about this yesterday.
Here's the earlier posting of what the children will be receiving tomorrow. They will not be getting this today as I will not be able to see them today. (apologies that the pictures on the document could not be copied below. I was drawing groups of apples to illustrate.)

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

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.

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.
