Dear Parents,
Today we reviewed the topic of Length via classwork done in the Maths activity book. For English, we looked into stories related to insects and the children enjoyed viewing videos of "The grasshopper and the ant" as well as 3 clips from "A Bug's life" illustrating SPACE of the story. We also used these clips to illustrate good values learnt from the characters in the stories. We ran out of time at the end of the lesson, as it was CME time. The children were preparing to illustrate their understanding of SPACE based on what was viewed in the last 3 videos, when the bell rang. They will continue this activity tomorrow before doing individual writing in class.
P.S. for the string to be brought tomorrow, the children were told that it must not be stretchable.
Reminder: Practical Quiz on length tomorrow.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, we had Mental Sums during Maths. As there were a number of things to take note, I'd typed and printed the Things to bring cum Homework list for the pupils. This was posted earlier in the day.
During English, we reviewed Englist items learnt via a written exercise with editing ( with spelling, punctuation and spelling mistakes ) as well as review of the grammar items learnt. We also did penmanship, and last but not least, we read a Social Studies Big Book called "Kucinta finds home". This is a book that emphasizes on the concept that our own home is still the best. The children did a Social Studies exercise in the activity book as classwork.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
I am glad that everyone (our children) remembered to bring their Spelling books back today, but not everyone has gotten their parent's signature. I've reminded them accordingly to get it signed the next time.
Today, we had dictation, as well as an exercise ( pairwork) on the tenses learnt ( simple present/simple past/ past participle) in class before recess. For Maths, we reviewed Length by going through the coursebook, and viewed several videos illustrating the concept of length and the units of length. They have also learnt that 10 mm = 1cm, 100 cm = 1m and 1000 m = 1km ( this is additional info for them).
Things to bring next Monday
- Maths Coursebook 2A
- Small whiteboard, duster and marker
- Foolscap Paper - 5 sheets
I have informed them and briefed them on the quizzes next week : 22nd Feb Maths Practical Quiz on length , and 23rd Feb English written quiz ( with grammar mcq, vocab mcq and cloze with helping words, punctuation as well as comprehension).
Btw, I will be away for a cluster meeting next thursday 23 Feb. There will be no issues of interruption of lessons as the children will be doing the English Quiz and Mental Sums then, plus reading period. I have not told them this info. Thanks.
Have a wonderful weekend!
P.S. Homework issued - English WS on " A butterfly is born" and Maths model drawing WS will be due this coming Monday.
Thank you.

Dear Parents,
Today, we reviewed grammatical items like subject-verb-agreement, use of the apostrophe 's' as well as the simple present/simple past/ past participle (used after has/have) of given verbs. The use of videos and songs to reinforce this helped to instil interest in the pupils and the pupils had to give me one to two examples of the simple present/simple past/ past participle e.g. run/ran /run , before they go for recess as that was the password for recess today. We had also reviewed some life cycles of different insects and animals including that of a frog as part of the enriched vocabulary and information provided for our English Big book.
For Maths, we explored estimation, on how pupils can judge when an object's measurements can be in metres or centimetres; and we also had the pupils (working in teams) to measure objects around us such as the height of the class chairs, and the various painted fruits outsider the container classrooms, using their measuring tape, and recording them in their worksheets. Tomorrow, we will get them to measure bigger objects by combining their efforts (using addition and our class metre rule).
Things to bring for tomorrow
- Maths Coursebook 2A
- Small whiteboard, duster and marker
- A4 size blank paper - 4 sheets
Homework - Lead.com.sg vocabulary assignments as well as the Maths (Find a Pattern) Worksheets will be due tomorrow.
There will also be spelling tomorrow.
Btw, I have returned their SPELLING EXERCISE BOOK for your SIGNATURE AND PERUSAL. They have to complete all corrections, write in the content page if not written, and bring the spelling exercise book tomorrow as we have spelling tomorrow. I am training them to follow instructions with this "assignment" and am checking if they are able to bring the book back tomorrow with all corrections done and content page written and with your signature.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
