Dear Parents,
Today, the Maths Activity book is returned to them. They are to complete any corrections not done. They do not need to hand in the Maths file till 1st day of school in Term 2. As for the English File, there is still so more filing and the file will be given to them tomorrow to bring back.
Today, we reviewed Maths topics learnt, as well as English as well.
Reminder:
a) Tomorrow 7 March will be the Maths Written Quiz based on Units 1 to 3, including Process skills "Find a pattern". All workings and statements must be written and units must also not be left out.
b) Spelling will be on this Thursday.
Things to bring tomorrow will be the same as that needed for today.
Thank you.

P.S. I have given the children the printout for instructions to the scrapbook today. It is a one sheet (two page) document.

Dear Parents,
Today, the Maths file was returned for your signatures on the unit worksheets. I've also returned the Maths Practical quiz paper for your perusal and signature. The Maths quiz paper is to be returned on Monday for filing purposes in your child's porfolio.
Today, we had filing and review of work done for Maths. For English, we had Dictation, as well as completion of an English Worksheet based on "Life in a Shell". Comprehension techniques were reviewed. The children were reminded that for comprehension questions that require them to select a word from the passage, they are answer in this way :
e,g,
The word is ' backwards' .
They must use single inverted commas or single quotation marks, followed by a full-stop. They just need to answer in this way, without elaborating further e.g. The word that is the opposite of 'forward' is .... (This is NOT necesssary and not recommended.) The answer above ( The word is ' xxxx ' . ) is sufficient.
Double inverted commas, or double quotation marks are meant for sentences.
Eg. The sentence is " ..........".
Things to bring on 5 March
- Maths Activity Book 2A Part Two
-Small whiteboard, duster and marker
- Foolscap Paper - 5 sheets
P.S. The English Written Quiz will be returned on Monday.
P.P.S. The printout that gives the children more information on the Scrapbook Project will be given out next week.

Dear Parents,
Today, we went through the slides w.r.t. the scrapbook project that I've shared in an earlier posting. The slides will be printed for the children in due course. We also viewed videos on animals with a shell ( as a follow-up of our Big book read " Life in a Shell") and the children created a short poem on what they have seen, by selecting their favourite animal with a shell and writing about it, with rhyming words in the poem.
For Maths, we reviewed and did corrections as well as first part of filing of the Maths file. We will complete the filing tomorrow and will return the Maths files tomorrow for revision.
We had our English period as usual at the end.
Things to bring tomorrow:
a) Small whiteboard, duster and marker
b) Highlighter / coloured markers
c) A4 size blank paper - 5 sheets
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
P.S. The children got to see their Maths Practical quiz paper today. 2/3 of the class had full scores. I will return this paper together with the English quiz in a plastic pocket on Monday.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

29 Feb ( Additional post)
Dear Parents,
Today we read a big book 'Life in a shell' and further explored the features of a non-fiction book, such as contents and index. This is the second non-fiction book introduced for reading for the children. We also did written work on "several, most, some' as well as 'do, does and did'.
For the next English period, we had 3 drama exploration activities (the first to build confidence with self introduction in a special way, the second encourages creativity, and the last involves everyone acting out "still images" of what can be found at the beach, in relation to the book we read earlier. The children enjoyed this session very much.
For Maths, we reviewed non-routine, higher order thinking (HOT) and investigative questions.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
