Dear Parents,
Yesterday, during the last 2 periods, we had Mental Sums as well as Journal Writing. The children did self-evaluation on their performance for the Review Papers and also reflected on how they could have fared better in the future. 2/3 of the children completed their journals and the rest were asked to take the journals back to complete and submit on Monday.
Fyi pl.
Thank you.
Here's wishing all our Mothers a VERY HAPPY AND WONDERFUL MOTHER'S DAY!

Re: Maths Revision Papers 3 and 4
Dear Parents,
The Maths Revision Papers 3 and 4 are only extra practice. My apologies for not being able to print it like the usual Revision Papers as I was printing these myself and I have shrunk them for purposes of saving the trees. There was some problem in printing, so the Revision Paper 3 came out to be in much smaller font. Apologies for that. I have told the children to write in the available spaces in the paper for this practice. Not everyone was able to complete - those who were faster, we managed to review both papers ( are instructed to file the papers behind the Revision 1 and 2 papers in the Maths file). Those who needed more time had only time for one paper, and I have given them Paper 3 and the answer sheet for them to practice in their own time at home.
I was given fewer periods today and was not able to let all the children attempt both papers.
The purpose of these Revision paper are for exposing the children to different types of questions. I have taken time to explain the questions in Paper 4 to the children. I have given Paper 4 first as Paper 3 was printed in very small font, and as such, Paper 4 would be easier to attempt. For Paper 3, if there are any queries and I did not have the chance to explain to your child, please do ask your child to see me tomorrow before school in the school hall. I will be there from 12.15pm onwards.
Note:
- I have reminded the children to bring their rulers tomorrow. Although this is a common item in the pencil box, some children did not have it.
- I have also reminded the children to write the final statements for word problems. Marks will be deducted if this statement is not written.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
The children have just completed their English Review Paper. They are now given Maths Revision papers 3 and 4 to practise (another teacher was in class with them now after the paper- as there was suspension of timetable). I will be going through with them later, when I see them after recess.
The children are also given a letter for parents re: Meet-the-Parents Session on 25 May ( green letter). There is a white reply slip given as well ( white reply slip - A4 size ). Please indicate your time preference and return the reply slip to us asap, before 15 May.
Note:
a) I will be informing the children w.r.t. the Learning Journey next week. The children will be in 9 designated groups ( 7 groups - led by the 7 parent volunteers, and 2 groups by Mrs Nair and me).
b)I will be recalling the English and Maths Files, as well as the Maths Activiity Book 2A Part 2 - next week.
c) I will be giving the children the feedback for the Oral, Graphic stimulus and the Scrapbook next week.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Besides the things to bring given earlier, I also need to collect the Maths Activity Book 2B Part 1 from your child (if he or she has not handed in) tomorrow. We would be starting the next Maths chapter next week.
Today for Maths,we completed our review for the 2 Maths Revision Papers 1 and 2.
For English, we went through Revision Paper 3, and we also did Revision Paper 4. All these were self marked as we are emphasising on learning points and not the actual marks for these 2 papers.
The Graphic Stimulus practice papers and Comprehension skills papers are also returned to them. All these must be filed up in the English File ( At the last part of the file, Revision Papers 1,2,3,4,Graphic stimulus re the dog, and then the one on the earth day, and finally, comprehension skills paper)
Tomorrow, the children will be having their English Review Paper ( NO Composition component. Only what was seen in the revision papers.).
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

8 May 2012 (3rd post)
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!
