Dear Parents,
We will be moving to the 6I3 classroom ( sorry posted the wrong room yesterday) today.
Tomorrow, the class will be doing their English Review Paper. I will go through the different strategies once again with them in class today. I wil also be giving them the Rubrics for Readers' Theatre assessment - a copy - so that the children know what to expect when we are grading them in this aspect. We had two practices thus far, and will be doing more practice before the actual assessment.
The children will also be receiving the consent form today for their Learning Journey to the Changi Airport.
For today's English lesson,
we will review the strategies for English. We will review the big book read. Then the children will be doing classwork on the new book read. Then the children are to do an exercise with their unread book - to create a new book jacket and an advertisement on the back cover.
For Maths,
We will review what we have learnt for Time, as well as do classwork on the topic.
Fyi please.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, I have returned the comprehension and composition Mock Test papers to the children. Please sign on the cover of both papers ( for compre it will be next to the mark, and for compo, above the date). For comprehension, highest was 28/30. For compo, as a level, we are only reflecting the range on the feedback template attached. I have also written comments or made corrections in the composition. There were three very well-written compositions and I would be reading them to the class next week, when the files are returned. The children are to file both papers in their English file - at the last segment. For comprehension, they are to do their corrections - the answer sheet has been given to them. For composition, they do not need to do corrections as yet. We will be doing that next week, in conjunction with their IT assignment in Week 10.
Today for Maths, we went through corrections for the last set of worksheets on multiplication and division - returned today for your signature as well. To be filed in the Maths file. We also did another Maths Journal mock assessment. This is done to assess the understanding of concepts taught. All journal assessments will be returned to you for your viewing this week. We also started on the topic of 'Time'.
For English, we went through corrections for 'The Fisherman and his wife'. We also started on a new book 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff - much more than a story'. The children enjoyed the book as it not only has the traditional story, but also a poem, an extended 'story' with an email invitation by the billy goats, as well as a factual introduction of bridges. I then used this same book to show the children how they can write advertise for a book. The children then used the book that they have brought to read to find out more about the book and also come up with an 'advertisement' for the book that they have brought.
Things to bring will be same throughout for this week - Foolscap Paper ( 5 sheets) , A4 size blank paper (4 sheets), colouring materials, stapler, and a book that they have not read. We will be using the books to explore different aspects, in various projects.
There is NO homework this week. We will be doing written work in class, and time will be given for self-revision. Note: Thursday - English review paper, Friday - Spelling (for Week 8) and unseen dictation for Week 9.
P.S. Problemsums.com assignments are weekly auto-assigned. So this will serve as a continual practice.
Btw, due to the prelims for P6, we will be moving to the p6 classroom from tomorrow onwards.
Thank you.
Good night.

Review of Worksheets given on Tuesday
Dear Parents,
Although I have reviewed with your child re the worksheets returned to them, please do let me know if your child still have difficulty in doing their corrections for any of the worksheets returned. If they still have difficulty, please do ask them to bring the particular worksheets on Tuesday (English or Maths) for me to go through with them once again, while the rest of the class is doing written work. I will also be taking this opportunity to remind them to pay more attention in class.
Thank you for your help.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Selemat Hari Raya to all who are celebrating!

Dear Parents,
Today, the children completed the rest of the classwork and prepared for Readers' Theatre.
We then had the performance together with self and peer evaluation by the children. The action was again captured via video and it was screened to the whole class for them to see and also learn from each other's strengths. There was also a vote taken for the best group. Prizes were given to the best group as well as consolation prizes to the other children. We reflected and went through what was important for Readers' Theatre - standing confidently and not blocking their faces with the clip board and script, and to read clearly and well and with expression. They must also have a good introduction and conclusion as well. I also modelled the reading part to them to reinforce the above.
For Maths, we had a Maths Quiz to review all the topics learnt this semester.
Note: There is NO school for the next two days this week and on Monday as well. The children will return to school on Tuesday.
Thank you.
Here's wishing our Muslim children and parents and rest of the family - Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri :)
Have a wonderful long break!

14 Aug ( 2nd post)
Dear Parents,
Today we did filing as well as Maths Classwork in the activity book. The children have received their Maths File ( with their Units 1, 3 and 4). Unit 2 is the last unit we are doing now and will be returned early next week.
For English, if their bags are not too heavy, then the English File was also returned. For the others, they would take their English file back tomorrow. There is only one more unit extra - Willy and Hugh which needs corrections and your signature. The last unit before the test - The Fisherman and his wife was just completed and will also be returned early next week. (Owl babies, Is the wise owl wise have already been returned previously.)
The children need not bring back their files till I call for them, which will be after the tests.
For English, we had taken the time to practise for Readers' Theatre with given scripts (printed on recycled paper). The children will be performing tomorrow.
They then watched a 10 min video (continuation of "Mathemagic land' that talks about the magic of maths) just before going home.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!
