24 Sep 2012 (3rd post)

Dear Parents,

Apologies for the typo in the things to bring and homework list - I have rectified with the children accordingly and they should have made the necessary changes on their copies.

As we had run out of time for them to complete their second draft (to rewrite their composition), they had brought it back as homework due tomorrow. For this draft, I have used blue to correct for them and to give them comments.

Note: In their composition, IP means new paragraph, p - punctuation mistake, sp - spelling mistake , T - tense error , ww - wrong word.

Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today, we had note-taking for the topic of Geometry, and also went through the worksheets on Volume. The Process Skills booklet as well as the Worksheets on Volume have been returned for filing at home in their Maths Files. Please also sign.

I am also giving out the English Practice Paper and am going through it as well. This goes into the English file after you have signed.

The children are also given back their composition practice paper for doing the second draft in school, after comments have been given for their first.

We will also be reading the big book 'Alley Cats'. For your info please.

Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
I did not have the chance to tell the children what to bring on Monday. But basically not much will be needed as the materials needed are all with me.

So they will just need their Foolscap Paper - 4 sheets, as well as A4 size blank paper - 4 sheets.

Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

P.S. We are starting on the topic of Geometry next week, so it would be best to have your child read up on this topic in their Maths Coursebook in advance.
Thank you.

Dear Parents,

We just had the mid-autumn festival celebrations in school earlier this evening. Although only a small number of our class pupils stayed back, it was great fun watching the children enjoy themselves:)

Today, the English and Maths Files are returned for good - as we are moving to the P6 classroom for the next 2 weeks - our room is used for PSLE ( all things had to be cleared or moved out from our original classroom) , and as the exams are not too far away, I have decided to return the files for good. There are just two more topics - Geometry and Graphs for Maths, as well as just one more Big Book title - Alley Cats to cover, and we are on our way to pure revision......  I have just held on to Compo 3 as I wanted to use it to get the children to practise editing skills, so this will be returned much later after our activity.  Scrapbooks are also returned today.  When the relevant worksheets are done for the remaining topics, they will be returned for the children to file at home. So there is no need to bring the files again to school.

On Monday, I will return the Brain Gym file for Maths, as there was suspension of time table and a dental talk today and with the early dismissal, was not able to return everything, so we transferred them to new classroom to be returned next week.

Next Friday will be the Social Studies Test - based on the Activity book.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Dear Parents,
Today, the children did filing, as well as a practice paper for English. We then reviewed the front sections of the practice paper. As for Maths, we went through the enrichment question on Volume - which I gave them two days to think through, and also the process skills questions.

Tomorrow, we will have unseen dictation, followed by rewriting their composition done in class yesterday based on my feedback. For Maths, there will be Mental Sums and an activity on Volume.

Tomorrow, dismissal time is at 6pm.

Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!
