Homework due 18 Jan (Wed)
- Maths Problemsums Worksheets 1 and 2 ( on One-step Addition and Subtraction) - Models must be shown. I have gone through some of the sums with them. I will be going through with the children once again on Wed before we collect the worksheets so that they are all aware of how to present their answers.
- English Exercise book - Prepositions
The children are to form as many sentences using prepositions and to underline the prepositions used. A list of common prepositions can be found on this site http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiqBGZTZP6Q
E.g. There is a mouse under the table.
Good penmanship is necesssary for this exercise.

Dear Parents,
Today, we reviewed Maths Worksheets 1 and 3. We also discussed regarding the English Creative Writing Project that the children need to do, with a given verbal example by me (a short summary will be given later). The children also did Maths written work in the Maths Activity book, as well as read a story during the last period - which is the Reading period - Every Friday last period. The children have also received their rewards today, after earning points for learning and behaviour for two weeks. Next reward day would the in Week 5.
Things to bring on Mon 16 Jan
- Maths Coursebook 2A
- Coloured Markers
-Foolscap Paper - 3 sheets
Homework due on Mon 16 Jan
- Maths Worksheets 2 and 4
- English Creative Writing Project
Cover page - on A4 size blank paper. To paste pictures of people, place and object (s) on the cover labelling it as such :
People (picture) Name/ Identity of people
/
/
Place Object (s)
(picture) (Picture)
Name of place ------> Title of story <------- Name of objects
Type of story ( e.g. A mystery, a funny story ..... etc)
- To write a story based on the people, place and object or objects selected ( pictures to be pasted on cover page to form a simple 'story map'. To write on foolscap paper and to leave a line after writing on each line. To leave 2 finger spacing for each new paragraph. Good penmanship is important for this exercise.
No limit to length. The important part is to write an interesting story that others will like to read.
P.S. There will be a briefing for all Parent volunteers for the Chinatown learning journey at 12.15 pm. To meet at the lobby outside the general office. All information and briefing will be given then.
P.P.S. My sharing with parents will most probably be on 10 Feb morning (timing to be confirmed) as well as on 11 Feb morning (timing to be confirmed). Meeting place would be the lobby and I would bring parents up to the student leadership LT on 3rd level for the sharing. Thus I hope you will all be punctual as you may not be aware of where the particular LT is, and others around the school may not know too. I am sharing on two dates but parents need only turn up at one of them. I would like to have 100% attendance by parents, and knowing how busy your schedule is, I have tried my best to accomodate by scheduling two sessions (and repeating myself ). This is my own initiative to meet up as the level will only schedule a Meet-the-Parents session this coming May, as required by the school. Thus Mrs Ho will not be around for the session.
Agenda for the session will include - sharing of my class practices and class matters and expectations, P2 test / exam component matters, and syllabus to be covered this year, areas of concern raised by parents (e.g. how to help the children in english and maths matters ), plus Q and A. I hope that parents will all join the class blog as I am blogging each and every day and a lot of information may be lost if parents are not in the loop. Session will be only about one and a half hours.
P.P.S. The children are going for their Learning Journey this Friday 19 Jan. They will be briefed to let them know more about this next week. Pupils will be divided into about 9 to 10 groups with about 3 pupils per group assigned to a parent facilitator.
Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend!

Dear Parents,
Today, we reviewed 'Numbers to 1000' and also read a story about 'How many, how long, how much is 1000". We went through some of the questions in the Maths Worksheets. The children are to attempt ONLY WS 1 and 3 from the stapled stack for homework.
We also started exploring picture composition writing with the pictures that they have selected. The children had time to discuss and creat a story based on a single picture that they have selected. We will be slowly developing this to more pictures to create a more substantial story. This is a start of your child's development in composition writing.
Things to bring on 12 Jan
- small whiteboard, duster and marker
- Maths Coursebook 2A
- A4 Size blank paper - 5 sheets
Homework due 13 Jan (Fri)
- Journal : My good friends in school
- Maths Worksheets on "Numbers to 1000" - ONLY worksheets 1 and 3
Thank you. Have a wonderful evening.

Dear Parents,
Today we reviewed the two types of pronouns - Subjective personal pronouns (I, He, She, It, We, They, You) and the Objective personal pronouns (me, him, her, it, us, them, you). The children created their book of pronouns in class, making sentences and illustrating them, plus highlighting the pronouns in the sentences. There is no homework issued today as homework issued on Monday is technically due only tomorrow. For those who have completed their homework, I've collected them. Tomorrow, I will collect from those who have not submitted. Homework will be issued tomorrow.
Note: The children's health check in school will be on 13 Jan. Learning Journey to China town will be on 19 Jan. Thus far, we have about 7 parent volunteers. Any more interested parents who would like to be a facilitator to guide the children are to let Mrs Singh know latest by Friday 13 Jan.
Things to bring on 11 Jan
- Maths Coursebook 2A
- Foolscap paper - 3 sheets
- Cut out pictures of people doing things - any action is fine - any no. of pictures
- gluestick
- coloured markers
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
P.S. We are in the midst of preparing for a Meet the Parents session for the level. I would most probably schedule a mini-sharing with parents after the session so that you are more familiar about how we can work together to support your child. Btw, very few parents responded by letting me know what are the areas they would like me to share on to help their child improve. Is there any more input in this area? I would be able to tailor my sharing more to meet your needs if you are able to let me know. So far, it is about comprehension and composition writing only. Please let me know asap by 16 Jan as I need to prepare for the sharing.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today the children presented their A-Z booklets (which had been scored before it was being given out) to their respective buddies and wished them well. The buddies and their teacher were very happy with this gesture. They also took this chance to bid their buddies farewell as buddying has ended, and to wish them all the best.
We learnt pronouns today, and identified the nouns that the pronouns were referring to. We have also started the first topic of 'Numbers to 1000' via a lesson, quiz, written classwork as well.
Homework (Due 11 Jan)
a) English Worksheets pages 4 and 8 ( on "The Underground Dance") - the rest had been completed and marked
b) Maths Activity book 2A Part 1, pages 1 to 5, as well as pages 9 and 10.
Reminder: a) Spelling is this Friday.
b) Health Check is on 13 Jan.
c) Learning Journey is on 19 Jan.
Things to bring on 10 Jan
- Drawing block paper - 5 sheets
- colour markers
- A4 size blank paper - 5 sheets
( Note: From today onwards, I will not be writing the "Must-haves" which include the English Story book, colour pencils and Pupil Diary. It is assumed that pupils already know that they must bring these daily.)
P.S. The timetable is stapled and given in their Pupil Diary today. There may be some more changes this week, but for the ease of pupils in packing their bags, we have issued the timetable today.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
