Dear Parents,
The Social Studies assessment will be postponed to Week 3. Thus I will only speak to the children next week regarding this.
Today, the children completed their English worksheet related to 'The Best Pet'. They also had silent reading and book review. As all the children have completed their Readers' Theatre performance today, I have issued the feedback form to the children. Please sign and return via your child tomorrow.
The children also did their Social Studies work today. They did classwork and also an activity to build the tallest tower. It is hoped that with their previous experience in building with newspapers etc, they would be able to make a taller one this time, and learn from their experience.
I also briefed them (Part 1 briefing) for the Learning Journey. There will be a Part Two briefing tomorrow with more details.
As the other teachers in the level are asking the children if they want to purchase Happy Meals from McDonald's and we can order in bulk for them, in order to be fair and to reward the children for their good behaviour ( the majority improved in care etc when doing their review papers and in their class behaviour and learning attitude), and also to encourage them to be on their best behaviour on Friday, I am ordering Happy Meals for them and it will be my treat for the children. Whether they can afford or not, all of them will be able to enjoy the meal. (By the way, this is only for 2F. The other children in the level are paying for their own if they want to order. Please do not share this information with parents of other classes as problems may arise due to comparison. For those who do not wish to order this food item, I will convert it to a non-food item as a reward at year end. The children were given these choices( main meal : chicken nuggets or cheese burger ( vegetarians - will have the choice of the non-meat burger) + (drink : ribena or fresh milk) + side order (french fries or apple slices). As we are making a bulk order, there will be limited choices. The children can still eat their own snacks and take their own drinks. SHOULD YOU WISH TO STOP YOUR CHILD FROM HAVING THIS HAPPY MEAL (e.g. some parents may not allow the children to take fast food), PLEASE SMS ME AT 98234731 by end of of today (12 Sept), AND I WILL NOT ORDER FOR YOUR CHILD. By the way, I think a toy is provided with this Happy Meal pack. Your child is indicating their choices to me after recess today. Before I send in the order tomorrow morning, I will respect your wishes to make any change to your child's decision.
This bulk order is made so as to reduce waiting time for purchase of food and thus not cause delay to the completion of the learning tasks on Friday.
For Maths, we are exploring the topic of Volume via online quizzes.
P.S. As mentioned, no homework issued till Thursday.
Fyi please. Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
If your child does not intend to give anything, then no worries. This reminder then does not concern your child. I am issuing this notice just in case any items have to be returned to your child.
Just a reminder in case your child intends to give anything to his or her teachers tomorrow - Teachers will only be able to accept gifts of nominal value, such as cards or arts and crafts, offered by students in appreciation of your work are acceptable on this occasion. Students should be advised against offering expensive gifts.
Fyi please. Thank you.

29 August (2nd post) and re 30 August
Dear Parents,
Sorry for the late post as I was busy till almost 1 a.m. this morning with school matters.
Yesterday, the children had their Listening Comprehension assessment. They also went through and did corrections for the Worksheets on 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'. They were to get your signature and then file in their English File. They then practised in their groups for Readers' Theatre and they also took time to make their own 'name tags' to identify their roles in the performance.
For Maths, the children worked on a Maths story based on time, the creation of a Maths story integrated with the concepts learnt in Time. I had demonstrated this previously (by creating such a Maths story) in an activity that they had done with the little clocks ( that is, I tell the story and they followed with the timing and then they were to tell me the final time at the end of the story ). Most of them could not finish so today, I will be giving them extra time to complete.
Today, the children will be having their Readers' Theatre performance cum assessment. For Maths, they will complete their Maths story and also review their concepts on Time.
Today is also reward day for the children. Tomorrow, with the Teachers' Day celebration (1st two periods) as well early dismissal, I would not be able to see them in class as my lessons are the first two and last two periods tomorrow. Thus there is no blog for tomorrow.
Your child will be having their September holidays next week. I will see your child on 10 Sept.
Take care and have a wonderful day!
Ow Yeong
P.S. English and Maths Review Paper, Listening Compre, Readers Theatre grade feedback, and my periodic report for Term 3 will be given in Term 4 Week 1.
P.P.S. I will give out the holistic report (for Term 3) today as I would not be seeing them tomorrow.
