Dan, the Flying Man

The third Big Book the pupils read is 'Dan, the Flying Man'.



After reading the Big Book, the pupils drew Dan flying over some objects. They learnt to use the comma and the conjunction 'and' to join the different objects that Dan flew over.

Our Favourite Animals

The pupils wrote about their favourite animals.

Here's a funny music video about animals.



Hope you like it!

Grammar Practice

In Unit 1, the pupils learnt to use 'have' and 'has'. They also learnt to use 'can' and 'can't'. Help them to revise using the online exercises below.

(1) 'Have' or 'Has'
(2) 'Can' or 'Can't'

Group Writing Activity

This is the pupils' first group activity...

Mrs Wishy-washy

There will be an English Quiz this week. This will help the teacher assess the pupils' ability to follow the English lessons. The pupils have read two books and done some activities based on them. The two books are: (1) Farm Concert (2) Mrs Wishy-washy.

After reading 'Mrs Wishy-washy', the pupils wrote a sentence or two about the character. This is what some of them think of Mrs Wishy-washy...

Farm Concert

The first Big Book the pupils read is 'The Farm Concert'.

Pupils can click on the links to find out more about farm animals.

Farm Animal Sounds
Farm Animals - Vocabulary and Pronunciation
The Farm Animals
All About Farm Animals
Animal Noises

After reading the Big Book, 'Farm Concert', pupils draw their favourite farm animal and write down the sound it makes.

Touch-typing

The pupils enjoyed their touch-typing session in the computer lab. They were focused and were able to type with the correct 'fingering', as you can see from the way they placed their fingers on the keyboard (see pictures below).

Here's a link for them to practise touch-typing at home.

Click on Dance Mat Typing. Have fun, boys and girls!

Week 3 is OVER!

Phew! Week 3 is over in a rush. The children have settled in quite well and I am glad to see that they are happy to be in school.

Thank you Parents, for the encouraging comments on the class blog. Glad that you like it. The song (by now your child would have told you) is sung every recess and the pupils learn a new song every term.

Thank you, Mr Lim, for the suggestion to add in the names. I know as parents, we'll like to get to know our children's friends.

For Math, we are into Number Bonds. Most of the children are able to grasp this concept well. There will be a class test next Thursday after we have completed the first 2 units. The test is from the MY PALS TEST BOOK. This is to assess how well pupils have understood these two topics. I hope parents will not be unduly stressed (and please don't stress your child : )).

Also, every two weeks or so, pupils will be given a mental sums exercise. They will be taking the exercise book home for your perusal and signature after 2 - 3 exercises.

Today, as Mr Ali was preparing to come in for Health Education, the children 'screamed and shouted' his name like a pop-star! I was amazed! Mr Ali is really popular with the children. They simply LOVE him. You should expect very fit and healthy children by the end of this year : )
