Dear Parents,
Things to bring for tomorrow will be the same for today. The Self-generated Problemsums.com homework will commence from 4 June. By the way, I would highly encourage your child to go to problemsums.com frequently as there is a healthy competition going on among the children in the class / school. The website actually track the usage and the results of each child and there is an "Honours List". So please do encourage your child to log in.
Today, for English, the children did the '3D - Seed Project'. I gave them plasticine to create their 3D 'pictures'. For Maths, they had a Maths journal assessment - marks not counted.
Tomorrow, the children will be having Spelling. I wil also be issuing the Spelling list for Term 3.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Urgent! Handphone missing. Please help!
Dear Parents,
Please see if there is a handphone that does not belong to your child in your child's belongings. I was just informed that a member of our class has lost his handphone and only discovered while on the school bus today. If it is not with any of our class's members, I will check the addresses of the other children in the school tomorrow as the tracking device on the handphone showed an address. The child does not know when the handphone was lost.
Please sms or call me if the handphone is found.
Thanks. Have a wonderful day!
P.S. On this note, please do ensure that if your child has a handphone and if he/she brings it to school, please remind your child to be more vigilant. I would advise that your child not bring any handphone to school as there is no need to, as teachers will be able to contact you if there is a need, and in case of emergencies, your child can actually use the phone in the general office to contact you.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
I've just returned from an award ceremony organised by the NW CDC for 3 of my prefects, and thus am blogging at this time.
There is no homework this week as mentioned yesterday as Holiday homework has been issued yesterday. Spelling will be this Thursday.
Things to bring for tomorrow will be Maths Coursebook 2B as well as any materials that your child may need to do his / her 3D 'Seed' project.
Today, we went through Unit 1 of Maths 2B, and the children completed their classwork - Maths Activity book 2B part 1 exercise for Unit 1. For English, we spent time on the LJ booklet - going through the answers. We also talked about the project in class, and watched a few videos pertaining to the topic of seeds. The children then started their plan for this project.
The children were asked to go back and think as well as plan for the class 'seed' project which will be done in class ( this is a class assignment - NOT an assessment). It is a follow-up on the Learning Journey. The children had their LJ booklets as resource, and we also viewed a story book on Sid the Seed, as well as a few videos on the journey of the seed, and from the seed to the market, etc, to give the children further ideas. The children are to come up with a story book ( in the form of a scrapbook) with '3D' objects e.g. real seeds, or real vegetables etc pasted on it as illustrations. They may choose to use origami or papper pop-ups too, as well as plasticine ( if they want plasticine, I am providing tomorrow for those who need it).
They are to trace the seed ( in the first person -speaking as the seed or in an animated form such that the seed can verbalise how it felt and what it went through) all the way through its growth till harvesting, and to the market ( NTUC or Cold Storage). The LJ booklet - first few pages, gave a good summary of the process, for the children to be aware of the stages and conditions for each stage. The seed must be one found at the LJ farm.
I will also be printing on paper some of the photographs taken by our Parent volunteers , so that the children may cut and paste and use them for the project. The children has two days to complete in class - Wed and Thurs. It will be an individual project, but they could discuss in groups to give each other ideas.
Reward day will also be on Thursday.
Fyi please. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today we had a visitor from NIE to view the children in their learning today. As such, recess was earlier and we had our Maths lesson - Mental sums, after the session instead. For English, the children had fun at the 6 Learning Centres set up at the school library. We had the whole library to ourselves today as the Librarian was on leave and the library was closed. I had arranged for the use of the library today, with permission from the Librarian.
Things to bring for tomorrow: Foolscap Paper - 2 sheets, A4 size blank paper - 5 sheets, Maths Coursebook 2B and coloured markers.
Homework will be holiday homework - No extra homework issued this week. Whatever work needed will be done as classwork.
Holiday homework - due Term 3 Week 1
- Problemsums.com assignments ( automatically assigned on Mondays) - as mentioned previously
- A reading log to record the English books read during the holidays - I am emphasing on both quantity as well as quality ( children classics and books which are of higher 'standards' e.g. Charlotte's web are encouraged) - they can record on the 'notes' page of the pupil diary 2012, by listing the title of the books read ( bracket to state author's name)
P.S. Tomorrow we will be exploring more about what we have learnt on the Learning Journey as well as to brief the children on their project this week. I will blog about this tomorrow.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

17 May, 18 May and 25 May Matters
Dear Parents,
Today the children had a great time at the Oh Chin Huat Farm. They sampled a number of herbs and edible plants, and also smelled and touched a number of mints. They were all given their "gifts" on their way out. We will be reviewing this visit again next week, with a project that is related to how a seed would feel through its journey at the Farm. The children would be doing this next week. More information will be given later, on Monday. A very BIG THANK YOU to our parents who have helped with this trip today ( Kabir's Dad, Shahdan's Mum, Tristan's Mum, Taran's Mum and Rahul's Mum):) Together with Mrs Nair and me, we had 7 groups of children for this activity. Thank you for looking into the well-being of the children:) There will be another Learning Journey around Week 4 or 5 next Term. I look forward to your continued support in this way. Thank you:)
Tomorrow, the children will have a very short time with me. Out of my 4 teaching periods on Friday, we will be having English Spelling for Week 9 and Storybook creation in class for the first 2 periods, as well as IT Maths in the lab (conducted by our IT trainer) during the last 2 periods for Maths. We will be collecting the English and Maths Review Papers with your signature as well. That will account for all the available time we will have tomorrow.
IMPORTANT : MEET-THE-PARENTS SESSION
Tomorrow, I will be issuing the confirmation slip to you via your child to indicate the confirmed timing for the Meet-the-Parents Session on 25 May. I have tried my best to make the necessary arrangements to fit your preferred timeslot. If you did not get the confirmation slip on Friday, please do sms me. Your child may have misplaced it. I will then reissue again.
I will be sharing with you with regard to your child's progress and areas to work further on, as well as his/her strengths. We will also look into your child's readiness for the formal examination at the end of this year. I will be returning your child's scrapbook to you then. There will also be a short "feedback report" - my own usual feedback, issued during the meet-up, besides the report book. I will be packing the feedback for oral and that for graphic stimulus in a plastic folder that I will be issuing to you. Please do return the report book and all reports, duly signed when school opens on Day One of Term 3 Week 1, via your child. I look forward to our continual partnership in helping and guiding your child to excellence this year.
In order to meet everyone, there is only a 10-min interval given. I hope that you will be patient with me if there is a need to wait for a while at times, and it is also very important for everyone to be punctual for the meet-up as well,as timing may be affected if one is delayed. The MT teachers will be in the Hall then. Thus please meet up with them either before or after your session with me. Mdm Kwan - the Maths pullout teacher teaching 4 of our children will also be in the Hall.
Note: Spelling for Week 10 will be next Thursday, instead of Friday as there is NO school for your child on that day (25 May, Meet-the-Parents Session).
As I will be busy with meetings tomorrow, I will not be posting on this Class Blog tomorrow. This is the reason why this post has also included brief information on 18 May as well. All information pertaining to Homework and Things to bring (from Friday to Monday) have already been issued and also posted earlier.
Till my next post on Monday, here's wishing you a good weekend in advance.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
