Meet The Parents Session 27 May 2011

Dear Parents,
As you would have already known, there is no school tomorrow for your child.  I look forward to meeting you tomorrow as scheduled. As mentioned earlier, there is a mini-exhibition ( 4 panels - front and back) documenting some of the lessons your child has experienced in school. Many thanks to Mrs Singh, our parent coordinator, for helping me set up this exhibition:) There is a panel for you to leave your feedback or comments. Your child would be able to view that too, when school reopens or if your child follows you to school. If your child is with you, they will need to be in their school uniform as this is school policy.

See you tomorrow then:) You will be receiving a no. of documents ( portfolio, report book, maths mid year quiz, short  mid year review from me, and class statistics on how the class has fared as a whole for you to gauge your child's level of competency with respect to certain components/ subjects).

Have a wonderful day! Happy Holidays to your child!
Btw, they have just received their rewards from me today.
Holiday homework was given earlier on Tuesday.
Thank you.

Re: 23 May

Dear Parents,
The children were not able to complete their worksheet on Mass (Only 6 did). Thus for the 24 children who did not complete, they would have this as homework.

I will brief them on their project tomorrow and will also issue holiday homework.
They will be doing a Maths Review Paper tomorrow - to revise all topics learnt.

Thanks. Have a wonderful day!

Early information for Monday 23 May

Dear Parents,
This is an early posting.

On Monday, the children will be submitting the lists for recording exercises done on lead.com.sg to date ( and problemsums.com - if done). They will also be doing a written exercise on Mass (so revision is important via lead.com.sg on Mass), and work assigned from Basic Grammar Book.

There will not be any homework issued on Monday. Homework will be issued on Tuesday instead and that will be the holiday homework.

Things to bring on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be the same:
a) Green pen
b) Colour pencils
c) 3 sheets of A4 size blank paper
d) resources for group project - I will brief them regarding this on Tuesday.

Thus I will not be posting anything till Tuesday.
Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend!

Information for 20 May 2011

Dear Parents,
No homework is issued today as it was done yesterday. Things to bring on Monday will be Green Pen, Colour pencils and The 2 lists documenting the exercises done for lead.com.sg.

I have explained at length in class about the lists which will be filed in their respective English and Maths files as records of things attempted online. For those who have time, they are to document in a separate list for problemsums.com as well.

For each list, I would recommend the format below: (But this is the minimal and can be further improved upon for more points.) It can be typed or handwritten.

A table format is necessary.

Name : ______________ (       )         Class: 1 F                 Term 2  2011

Subject: English / Maths

I have completed the following exercises on lead.com.sg :

S/N           Topics / Name of exercises                  

1.              Grammar Quiz - Countable and Uncountable nouns
2.



Please follow this format. There are children who have also included date of completion which is great. But the above is the minimal information for submission.
Hope this clarifies matters.

Thanks. Have a wonderful weekend!

Re: Record of completion of lead.com.sg work

Dear Parents,
I have asked the children to bring two separate sheets of paper with the heading given : I have completed the following work in Lead.com.sg   and I have specifically told them that I will go through with them as to what to do with it. That is why it is written under Things to bring and not Homework.

Fyi pl. Thanks. Have a wonderful day!
