Dear Parents,

Today we had English Listening exercise and review of the worksheets, as well as Maths activities on Picture graph.

Tomorrow onwards, timetable is as usual as P2s have completed their exams.

For next week, I will be away on an MOE 2-day conference (to represent the school) on 8 and 9 Nov. The children will be doing a Maths project on 8 Nov (written instructions will be given by me and all work will be done in school, monitored by Mrs Nair and the relief teacher) - it will be a project on picture graphs. On 9 Nov, the children will be doing an English project (conditions as above for Maths project) - it will be a project based on rhyming words.

For 10 Nov, I would like to meet the 7 parents who have volunteered for the Learning Journey at 1pm outside the general office, for a briefing before the Learning Journey.

Groupings are as follows:
Kabir's mum -   Kabir , Shahdan, Shubham, Marc
Rahul's mum - Rahul, Shreyas, Shruti
Nigel's mum - Nigel , Linus, Si Man, Kah Him

We will be doing a worksheet ( like a treasure hunt to find out answers from the gallery in the museum).

 (Mrs Singh, can you pl help me to inform the volunteers- if they didn't access this blog? Thanks. )

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

P.S. Things to bring has been mentioned for this week earlier and homework was issued yesterday and due next Tuesday 8 Nov.

Dear Parents,
Today the children have completed their Maths quiz before recess. I was fortunate to have 3 periods with them at the end of day, and thus we did the following:
a) Read a big book "The old woman who swallowed a fly" and did oral comprehension
b) Did an interactive lesson on Picture Graphs
c) Gave the children a plastic pocket with (1) Spelling worksheet  (2) English Quiz paper  - both for your signature. The children are to bring it back to me tomorrow for filing in their portfolios.

Tomorrow, time table is as usual.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

31 Oct (Additional information)

Dear Parents,
The children did a revision paper last Friday - that was the one I have marked in red and I've gone through with the children in class today. The children also did another revision paper today (before recess) and we have also managed to go through before dismissal - that was marked by the children in green - I have gone in detail with them to explain the answers(You may wish to add up the marks accordingly, as there was no time for us to do so today. Once wrong, there will not be any marks awarded.) These are past year's papers and thus they include topics that will not be included in tomorrow's quiz - but is a good review for the children so that they do not forget what was learnt. I have stressed more in my explanation for the four topics to be assessed tomorrow, namely Time, Money, Multiplication and Division.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
