Dear Parents,

I was away from school yesterday as I was on medical leave. Mrs Nair was also away these two days and she will be back next week. The children had their English Quiz and their mental sums yesterday.

Today, we had gone through the Maths worksheets (the second time- first time was done just before handing in). We had also gone through the holiday homework. I am issuing holiday homework today and they will be due only when school reopens on Term 4 Week 1 Day 1. There is no more homework till then.

Just a reminder that there is no school for your child till next Wednesday. There will be a Maths Quiz on "Addition and Subtraction within 100" on Wednesday and what is assessed will be what the children have done in their worksheets. Reward day will be 1 Sept.

Dear Parents,
As mentioned, there will not be any homework this week. Homework will be issued this Thursday.  The Maths file will also be returned this coming Thursday for the children to review the topic of "Addition and Subtraction to 100". The pupils have been taught to use the right Maths language - to rename tens into ones etc (and NOT to say carry or borrow). Fyi please.

In the meantime, the children will be doing more written work in class this week as there is no homework given. We had Spelling, Mental Sums and Comprehension exercises today in class. We had gone through comprehension skills in class today as well.

Things to bring were given on 17 August. Thus I will not be posting any of such information till Thursday.
Thanks. Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,

I have gone through the Maths Homework worksheets, especially on how to draw the comparison models, in class yesterday. I have informed the children that I will go through one more time before they hand in on Wed, to ensure that they have not left out anything in their models and answers. The purpose is to ensure that they understand how to present their Maths answers accurately. Subsequently I will not do this as they would have already learnt it. Fyi please.

As this week's spelling falls on 18 August which is PSLE oral day, their spelling for this week will be on, next Monday 22 Aug. Spelling for next week will be on Thursday as usual. Thus for next week:
Monday 22 Aug - will be Spelling for Week 8
Wednesday 24 Aug  - English Quiz
Thursday 25 Aug - Spelling for Week 9
Friday 26 Aug - Maths Quiz (Addition and Subtraction to 100)

I will not be issuing any homework next week, except on Friday as I am giving the children time to prepare for their Spelling and Quizzes at home.

For your info pl.

Things to bring tomorrow are given yesterday and thus will not be mentioned again today.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
