Dear Parents,
Today, the children had their English Composition SA2, followed by having me review with them their worksheets on Geometry. (This was returned to them to be signed by you, and filed in the Maths file.) One more topic to be done for Maths - Graphs.
Then we had Listening Compre SA2. After that, we reviewed the 'Alley Cats' Worksheets. (This was also returned to them to be signed by you, and filed in the English file.) No more Stellar worksheets already. Only revision worksheets.
I then arranged for the teachers going in to the class (timetable suspension) to let them view what I had started - a video on Graphs for children to introduce the topic of Graphs, as well as getting them to do an English Revision Paper ( paper 2 format).
Tomorrow, the children will be having their MT Composition SA2. I will be away for meeting, and will arrange for the children to do their Maths Revision Paper, plus review part of their English Revision Paper.
Thanks.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today for Maths, we had a Maths Quiz on Geometry. For English, the children were reminded re what to bring and what to wear on Thursday. Thursday - morning session for the children.
For One-legged hop - to wear red T-shirt
For Beanie Skip - to wear blue T-shirt
For Torch Relay - to wear white T-shirt
To bring uniform to change so that they can sit comfortably for the concert afterwards.
Today for English, we reviewed Composition writing skills (SPACE) and to remember to have two-finger spacing for new paragraphs and also to leave a line after writing on one line. We then continued our peer evaluation and also the children also did self-evaluation. Then they did a re-write of the composition. Composition 3 was chosen as it was a simple topic, and I have not pointed out all the mistakes deliberately for the first marking so that peers and themselves can highlight. The children did a re-write and I had completed my marking of that rewrite today and returned the papers to them.
Tomorrow will be their English Composition and Listening Comprehension Exams (SA2). Please do remind your child to review his or her composition writing skills and take note of good phrases. The model compositions are not meant to be perfect pieces but they were authentic P2 pieces who had scored high marks. It is meant only as an example.
All the best to your child for his or her SA2 tomorrow.
Note: Timetable for 2 Oct and 3 Oct will be suspended.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today we are doing the following:
1) Spelling - last spelling exercise
2) Social Studies Test
3) While the children are doing their Maths Classwork (continuation of yesterday on Geometry), I will be calling each child to me and give them their compo papers as well their English Practice Paper 2 and pointing out to them areas to take note of. They will also be doing their corrections for the practice paper.
P.S. I have printed 8 model compositions for them to take note. Some of them are related to the exercises we have done eg. pictures related to the mother and child waiting for bus 176, as well as for fishing in the pond. Others are just model compositions to show the children what are good compositions.
This printed note will be given to the children today.
--------
I will review with them more on compositions on Monday.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Reminder - SA2 Composition as well as Listening Comprehension is next Tuesday 2 October.
I have reminded the children re composition writing skills ( to plan with SPACE, and to be consistently narrating in the past tense, and to make their composition interesting but still conforming to the pictures given). We will be practising one last composition via composition 3 in peer evaluation as well as drafting a piece of writing that they would be proud of, these 2 days. On Monday, we will review composition skills and also read good compositions. For listening comprehension wise, they have had enough practice already.
We just practised yesterday via practice paper 2.
Today, the children will be doing their English worksheets on 'Alley Cats', as well as additional comprehension practice.
For Maths, they will be completing their Maths classwork as well as do an activity on Geometry.
Things to bring tomorrow- Foolscap Paper - 4 sheets and Maths Coursebook 2B
Note: There is spelling tomorrow.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
Today we had a briefing and I reminded the children on their readiness and attitude towards learning and preparation for their SA2. I also reminded the children that for their SA2 composition, they are to write on the school's foolscap paper, and to leave a line after writing on each line, besides remembering to write in paragraphs. Leaving a line after writing on each line is important so that it is neater and also if they need to add anything (a word or phrase or sentence) that they felt was left out during checking, they can put in an 'arrow up' ( inverted 'v') and write it in, in the space above.
We then did another practice paper 2. This time, this paper included a practice on listening comprehension as well. After that, the children watched clips, combined with my story telling of the the movie - 'Aristocats'. This is related to our experiential learning related to the big book 'Alley Cats'. The children then did a movie review - writing the gist of the movie, as well as comment on why they like or dislike it and the characters that they like in the movie.
For Maths, the children completed their Maths Worksheets on Geometry. The three pupils who did not finish brought the paper back to complete. Then the children practised and did exercises in their Maths Coursebook - using the dot grid paper and square grid paper ｔｈａｔ Ｉhave given them. We will continue this practice tomorrow. We will also be constructing composite shapes as well.
Reminder - There will be a Social Studies Test this Friday. I was also told by their HE teacher that there would be a ＨＥ Ｔｅｓｔ ａｓ ｗｅｌｌ ｏｎ ｔｈａｔ ｄａｙ．
（Ｐ．Ｓ． Ｔｈｅｒｅ ｉｓ ｓｏｍｅｔｈｉｎｇ ｗｒｏｎｇ ｗｉｔｈ ｍｙ
ｆｏｎｔ ｎｏｗ． Ｎｏｔ ｍｅａｎｔ ｔｏ ｂｅ ｉｎ ｔｈｉｓ ｗａｙ. ）

-Colour pencils

- Glue stick

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.
