Dear Parents,
Just to inform you that this year, I will be stressing on accurary ( being careful) as well as neat and punctual work this year. I am calling pupils to redo certain portions ( or rewrite) as and when necessary, and to also call them up to identify and rectify any 'careless' mistakes, so that it will be habitual for them to strive for accuracy and excellence. I hope that you can also support me by reminding your child regarding this aspect at home as well.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
Ow Yeong
P.S. Today, I am very happy to see all the children on task during their written work today and doing their work well. I have praised them accordingly in this respect (accuracy and neatness). This is a good start for the children. Please help to praise them regarding this. Thank you.

5 Jan 2012
Dear Parents,
Today we have reviewed vocabulary learnt from the big book " The Underground Dance" (the book that we read yesterday). We have also reviewed grammar items learnt last year ( is/are/am + prepositions (along, under, through) + Capital letters ( for Proper nouns) ) . The class did classwork today after the review. There is NO homework today. Apart from Day One, when I wanted the children to reflect on their first day of school, there will NOT be homework this week and this weekend, so that the children can get back into the school momentum gradually after a long break, and will feel more positive about school this year. Homework will be issued on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays starting from next week and pupils will be given a period of two days to complete differentiated homework. This will allow pupils to be stretched according to their ability. Our Spelling is every Friday this year, and it will start next week. I have already issued the spelling list to them. This year, they will be having dictation (which we will read out to them) - based on the passage given in the spelling list, as well as Spelling of given words like last year.
Things to bring on 6 Jan
a) English Story book ( I am reminding them till end of this week regarding this item,as after the long break, they may have forgotten that it is a must to bring this daily. From next week onwards, this will be taken as a "given" and no more reminders will be issued.)
b) Creative Writing book ( This is a lined jotter book.)
c) Portfolio ( This is the same white portfolio file returned at end of last year. Please keep the P1 papers intact as this portfolio is a continuation from last year. The pupils are to keep this portfolio for 2 years. Please do not buy a new portfolio file.)
d) Foolscap paper - 3 sheets
e) Colour pencils
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Happy New Year ! ( 3 Jan 2012)
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year! I am very glad to be taking your child again this year, as his/ her English and Maths Teacher. I will arrange with you in a few weeks' time to arrange for a session on what to expect for P2 this year, and to look into answering techniques in Maths and English. Can you please let Mrs Singh know asap what are the areas you are interested to know in order to help your child so that I can address this then? Thanks.
Today they are assigned one piece of homework. I am doing this so that the memory is still fresh on the children's mind, and to help them reflect on today. We had an assembly talk by Mr Ng, we watched a Wushu performance, and we had a school tour. We also had buddying for the P1s - They are buddying Primary 1F, Mr Sy's class. Later in the day, we talked about the class rules and expectations as well. I emphasized to the children on neatness and accuracy today as they are in P2, and no longer P1. I also reminded them with regard to punctual submission of homework. We also decorated the class table. They are sharing a piece of 'mahjong paper' cut out to fit the desk, and they designed half of it, and we placed a new plastic cover over it, so that they have a "customised" table. We also played an English guessing game today.
For homework, as I have mentioned to the class, they just have to write the journal on " My First Day of school" - it can be written as a normal "composition" or it can be in a poem. I leave it to their own creative expression. If there is no time to wrap and decorate the new journal, they can hand in the journal first and I will allow them to wrap and decorate when the journal is returned.
Things to bring tomorrow 4 Jan - This was copied by your child today :
a) English Story book
b) Pupil Diary 2012 - we are going through tomorrow
c) A new English single-line exercise book labelled as " Spelling". P.S. For all books, Name, Register no ( same as last year) as well as Teacher's name has to be written on the cover of the books.
d) A new Maths exercise book with "squares" labelled as "Mental Sums". Same note as above.
e) Journal ( Homework)
I have informed them of the timetable for tomorrow. But as there may still be changes in the timetable, we have not printed for them. Tomorrow they will have PE, English, MT , Maths and English again. Fyi pl.
Thanks for being such a great partner and team mate last year. I look forward to another more successful partnership with you this year in 2012!
Have a wonderful day!

16 November 2011
Dear Parents,
We have concluded the academic year 2011 w.e.f. today. Your child has completed his/her Primary One education and will be going to Primary 2 Flexibility next year. All the best to your child in his/ her endeavour.
Thank you for all your support and for working with me as a team to guide your child! Much appreciated! It has been my pleasure working with you this year! Thank you for being a good team mate!
Today, the children had received their report book, and Grammar book (Blue). Some pupils took it home earlier and didn't bring to school, so only those with the books continued with their learning and review of grammar.
They have also received their "Mega Rewards" to encourage them on their achievements thus far for the past 6-7 weeks this term, and at the end of the year. I have also used this opportunity to let every child know his strength and how they can further improve to be excellent. I hope this helps to direct your child towards developing to his/her full potential in the near future.
The children are to return the report books, the painted cut out and the holiday homework (A to Z) on Day One on 3rd January 2012. They are to report to the Mt Sinai campus then, and assemble in the hall on level 2. They have been shown the place. Instructions for the cutout are found in the printed info kit given to them in the zipblock bag. There is also an A3 white brochure with all the nec info. Pupils are to report by 12.35 pm daily.
Take care and I look forward to further opportunities in future to work with you:)
Have a wonderful day!
Happy Holidays for your child!

An early posting for 15 Nov
Dear Parents,
Here's an early posting for 15 Nov, as tomorrow will be a very busy day for me as well. I will be explaining to the children about this tomorrow in class. Thanks.
This is what they will be getting:
(It shows a girl paying attention.)
The best way to do well in Primary One is to be always attentive. In this way, you will not only be able to learn much more in class, but you will also not miss out on wonderful opportunities to help your teacher if she asks for volunteers. So do remember, always be attentive. You won’t go wrong with paying full attention!
