Fyi pl. Thank you.

Dear Parents,
Today, we also had our Book Fair in a role play with me as the host speaking to the children who had created their own story books based on 'The Best Pet'. We then had the children discussing regarding this experience and I have also documented it via a write up with the class. Tomorrow, the children will be writing and peer editing w.r.t. this experience. They will also be having a composition practice as well. For Maths, they will be doing their written work in the Maths Activity book (on Volume).
Fyi please. Thank you.

Dear Parents,
Today the children reviewed the worksheets done for English - 'The Best Pet'. They also did classwork in their Maths Activity book. We also had the second part of the briefing for the Learning Journey with some information on the airport and their groupings (which had been subjected to some slight changes), as well as the Do's and Don'ts at the airport. We also had online lessons on Volume with note-taking by the children, followed by a Maths Quiz on Volume. At the end of the lessons, they had their Spelling for Week 1.
Due to time constraints, I was not able to let the children know about homework, thus I have asked Mrs Singh to message you to give you the information ,and I will be informing the children tomorrow regarding this. Homework will be English and Maths Assignments in Lead.com.sg, as well as Problemsums.com assignments on Time and Volume (due Monday).
Tomorrow is the Learning Journey to Changi Airport - so they must bring a small bag with the items stated in my previous things to bring list. (e..g Jacket, water bottle, extra snacks, clipboard with attached pencil, pencil box, foolscap paper - 3 to 4 sheets).
After the Learning Journey, the children will be reviewing the experience with me back in school.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

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.
