Dear Parents,
Things to bring on the first day of school in Term 3 Week 1 -

Today, we completed the English 'Seed' Project. We also did further practice in the Maths Activity Book 2B.

Dear Parents,

Things to bring for tomorrow will be the same for today. The Self-generated Problemsums.com homework will commence from 4 June. By the way, I would highly encourage your child to go to problemsums.com frequently as there is a healthy competition going on among the children in the class / school. The website actually track the usage and the results of each child and there is an "Honours List".  So please do encourage your child to log in.

Today, for English, the children did the '3D - Seed Project'.  I gave them plasticine to create their 3D 'pictures'. For Maths, they had a Maths journal assessment - marks not counted.

Tomorrow, the children will be having Spelling. I wil also be issuing the Spelling list for Term 3.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Urgent! Handphone missing. Please help!

Dear Parents,
Please see if there is a handphone that does not belong to your child in your child's belongings. I was just informed that a member of our class has lost his handphone and only discovered while on the school bus today. If it is not with any of our class's members, I will check the addresses of the other children in the school tomorrow as the tracking device on the handphone showed an address. The child does not know when the handphone was lost.

Please sms or call me if the handphone is found.
Thanks. Have a wonderful day!

P.S. On this note, please do ensure that if your child has a handphone and if he/she brings it to school, please remind your child to be more vigilant. I would advise that your child not bring any handphone to school as there is no need to, as teachers will be able to contact you if there is a need, and in case of emergencies, your child can actually use the phone in the general office to contact you.

Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

22 May 2012

Dear Parents,
I've just returned from an award ceremony organised by the NW CDC for 3 of my prefects, and thus am blogging at this time.

There is no homework this week as mentioned yesterday as Holiday homework has been issued yesterday. Spelling will be this Thursday.

Things to bring for tomorrow will be Maths Coursebook 2B as well as any materials that your child may need to do his / her 3D 'Seed' project.

Today, we went through Unit 1 of Maths 2B, and the children completed their classwork - Maths Activity book 2B part 1 exercise for Unit 1. For English, we spent time on the LJ booklet - going through the answers. We also talked about the project in class, and watched a few videos pertaining to the topic of seeds. The children then started their plan for this project.

The children were asked to go back and think as well as plan for the class 'seed' project which will be done in class ( this is a class assignment - NOT an assessment). It is a follow-up on the Learning Journey. The children had their LJ booklets as resource, and we also viewed a story book on Sid the Seed, as well as a few videos on the journey of the seed, and from the seed to the market, etc, to give the children further ideas.  The children are to come up with a story book ( in the form of a scrapbook) with '3D' objects e.g. real seeds, or real vegetables etc pasted on it as illustrations. They may choose to use origami or papper pop-ups too, as well as plasticine ( if they want plasticine, I am providing tomorrow for those who need it). 
They are to trace the seed ( in the first person -speaking as the seed or in an animated form such that the seed can verbalise how it felt and what it went through) all the way through its growth till harvesting, and to the market ( NTUC or Cold Storage). The LJ booklet - first few pages, gave a good summary of the process, for the children to be aware of the stages and conditions for each stage.  The seed must be one found at the LJ farm.

I will also be printing on paper some of the photographs taken by our Parent volunteers , so that the children may cut and paste and use them for the project.  The children has two days to complete in class - Wed and Thurs. It will be an individual project, but they could discuss in groups to give each other ideas.

Reward day will also be on Thursday.

Fyi please. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Health Alert!

Dear Parents,
Please be vigilant in checking the health of your child and to ensure the continued health of your child as well.
We have a case of HFMD in the class, and as such, our classroom has been cleaned and the necessary precautions have been undertaken by our Operations Manager.

We wish our member (of our class)  a speedy recovery.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
