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.

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．

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.

Have a wonderful day!
