12 Oct 2012

Dear Parents,
Today the children received their Maths Activity books 2B Part 1 and 2, as well as their Portfolio. They are also given their Maths Worksheets for Graphs which we went through as a class. This is to be signed by you and filed in their Maths File.  For those with corrections, they must bring their Maths Activity books 2B Part 1 and 2 to show me next Friday.
Spelling book is also returned today.

Today, we also went through the Maths Revision Paper 1. However we ran out of time when it comes to the word problems. Thus I could only give them the final answers and I told them I would go through in detail next Friday w.r.t. models, statements and workings. Fyi pl.

For English, we went through our English Revision Paper 2.

Please note that there is NO school for the next week from Monday to Thursday ( PSLE marking days). Please do remind your child to use this time for revision. I have assigned e-assignments which can help with the revision.

I will see your child next Friday to do a final review for English, and to go through Maths and also to do Revision Paper 2 for Maths.

Thank you.

Have a wonderful day and a great weekend!

Health Alert!

Dear Parents,
I have just been informed : There is an outbreak of chicken pox in two of the P4 classrooms in the morning and we occupy one of the classrooms. The room has been disinfected and in fact, with effect from today, we will be moving our class to another classroom - Phyzwurz room (with air con) in the main block.

I will remind the children to take care of hygiene and health. Please also do take note on your part to help ensure that your child is well and healthy during this time period.

Fyi please. Thanks.
Have a wonderful day!

9 Oct 2012

Dear Parents,
Today the children had MT oral,thus time was taken by taking them to the hall during my class time.

For Maths, we had note taking for the topic of Graphs. We also did class work - activity book on Graphs.

For English, we reviewed the English Revision Paper 1 - and the children self-checked during the review. I am treating this merely as an exercise and thus for comprehension, if a part of the answer is wrong, they will have to correct all. Although marks are tabulated, we did not share this with the rest of the class as it is treated as an exercise. Please do look through - more importantly to see if your child has listened in class and corrected as advised, and also to see the mistakes made by your child. This is to be signed and filed in the English file.

They were also given their Good Children Rewards and Children's Day Gift today, as there was no time to do so till today.

Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

  For English today, there are the following activities:-

Note: They are bringing home samples of reading passages as well as pictures for oral practice, as well as oral rubrics for them to take note of what  the assessment criteria are, plus powerpoint notes on pointers to note when preparing for Oral.

Oral for 2F will be on Thursday.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
