Dear Parents,
Today, nearly half the class did not bring their Maths Revision Papers 1 and 2, as instructed on Friday. As such, I was not able to review the questions from these papers. I will do it tomorrow and everyone has been advised to bring the papers along (without their file), besides the list of things to bring given to them.
For Maths, we did Mental Sums ( 10 sums ) and a Maths Revision Quiz (to be filed behind the Revision papers in the file) instead.
For English, we did Revision Paper 3. I went through part of the paper (especially the open-ended comprehension), and will continue tomorrow, as there was not enough time today.
For 9, 10 and 11 May, timetable will be suspended for the P2s, so that the children can have their quizzes and review papers at the same time. Thus the children only need to bring what I have told them to bring PLUS things to bring for MT. No need to bring for other lessons. We will not be following the normal timetable. Normal timetable will resume on 14 May.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

8 May 2012 (2nd post) Re: Postponement of Spelling
Dear Parents,
As the children will be having their review papers for all their subjects this week, Spelling for Week 8 will be postponed to next Monday 14 May. There will Spelling as usual on Friday for the Week 9 Spelling. I will be reducing the homework load significantly to ensure that there is sufficient time for such preparation.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
For the journal homework, please do ask your child to do it on foolscap paper.
I've given your child their Maths Activity book 2A Part 2, as well as the 2 English and 2 Maths Revision Papers. Please do sign next to the marks on the cover page. This will give you a gauge of the readiness of your child for a full written paper, like the one he or she is doing next week on the 10th (English) and 11th ( Maths) of May. I've only managed to go through the answers and explained for the 2 English Revision Papers, as well as Questions 1 to 32 of Maths Revision Paper 1. I will continue to explain what to look out for and common errors and which part is tricky etc on Tuesday. The children need not bring their files but will only need to bring their Maths Revision Paper 1 and 2 on Tuesday so that I can contine to explain to them. I've printed the answer sheets for the Revision papers for them so that they can do their corrections in green on the paper but explanation will be continued on Tuesday. I took time to explain how one should attempt each question and what pitfalls to avoid. I wil be drawing out the relevant models for them on Tuesday as well.
We just had 4 periods - minus the walking from the hall, and waiting for them to return from PE etc, and so I was proud of the children for accomplishing so much today.
a) short briefing
b) went through and explained English Revision Paper 2 ( just in time for MT)
c) gave out Maths Revision Papers 1 and 2
d) Went through Maths Revision Paper 1 till question 32.
e) Did Spelling for 10 words for Week 7
Btw, Mrs Nair has tied and packed the things filed in the portfolio from last year and have placed it in the children's bags. Please keep it at home (and need not bring back to school again) so that when we issue the portfolio to the children with the newly filed things this year, it will not be so heavy for the children.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful long weekend.
I will see the children on 8th May.

Dear Parents,
Today, we went through the English Revision Paper 1, and the children did corrections as well as strategies for attempting the paper. This is a practice paper to assess your child's readiness for attempting a full review paper on 10 May. We will be going through the English Revision Paper 2 tomorrow. Both papers will be filed in their English file ( when the children bring their files in tomorrow just for filing purposes).
I will also be going through the Maths Revision Paper 1 tomorrow as well. Noting the time available - only 4 periods tomorrow, we may not be able to go through the Maths Revision Paper 2 till Tuesday. The Maths papers will also be filed in their Maths files tomorrow.
Things to bring tomorrow:
a) Green pen
b) Hole puncher
c) A4 size blank paper - 3 sheets
d) English file
e) Maths file
The children will get to bring their files back tomorrow. This is to ensure that the revision papers get to reach home and will be properly filed.
We also did continued our Maths worksheet ( on revising the last 3 topics) today. We then did a story map on one / two books read. The children had to come up with a map with basic components of title , setting, characters, best scene in the book, as well as why other should read this book.
Btw, we will be exchanging classroom with the P6s during the exam period ( from 8 May to 15 May). We have to shift as the tables and chairs in our container classroom will be changed to the bigger ones and will also be placed in the exam format.
Fyi please. Thank you.
P.S. Just a reminder re donation drive for the school anniversary - I hope that you can help the school by donating generously as the funds will be allocated to providing better facilities and resources for the children. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, the children's homework (due Friday) will be to revise through on their own things learnt for English and Maths thus far. I will be issuing homework only on Friday and due Tuesday, as next Monday is a holiday in lieu of Vesak Day on Saturday.
We had a short briefing today, followed by having the children attempt English Revision Paper 2. There was no time to return English Revision Paper 1 today, so I will do that tomorrow. This will give you a gauge of the readiness of your child, for the Review Paper on 10 May (For English).
The other revision papers will be given later, most probably on Friday, if there is no time to go through tomorrow. The Maths Review Paper is on 11 May.
We also did a picture composition in school today. With the children written work today, I have managed to complete my oral assessment for all the children. I will be returning the feedback forms to you, when I have recorded their scores.
The children also attempted a Maths Revision Exercise to review topics of Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, and Multiplication Tables 2 and 3. This exercise will be completed in class tomorrow as there was no time to complete today in class.
Things to bring tomorrow:
a) 2 English story books that have been already been read
b) A4 size blank paper (white) - 6 sheets
c) Coloured markers
Thanks. Have a wonderful day!
P.S. I will be asking the children to bring their files on Friday to complete filing, but they can bring it back on Friday as I will not be keeping their files yet. I will keep the files after the review papers so that I can do file check.
