End of Term 2 Week1

A)

By the end of week 1, we have completed two more chapters for Math:

Chapter 5 - Shapes and Patterns

Chapter 6 - Ordinal Numbers

 

I have noticed that some pupils are having trouble differentiating between 'before' and 'after' of a number.

For example: What number comes just before 4? (Answer: 3)

                    What number comes just after 9? (Answer:10)

                     6 comes just before _____. (Answer: 7)

                     8 comes just after ______. (Answer: 7)

 

I would like Parents to revisit these concepts with your child informally through your daily routines.  They also need to do 'before' and 'after' for Ordinal Numbers.

 

The Student Pass will be handed out to the children on Monday (29th March)

 

B)

The STUDENT PASS will be handed out to the children on Monday (29th March).  Parents please initial in their handbooks to acknowledge receipt of the cards.

As the card doubles up as EZ-link as well as National Library Card, please do not allow your child to carry it around if they do not need it for travelling to school.

Lost cards means others can use it to borrow National Library books at your child's expense.  It also means troublesome visits to the SMRT stations to make replacements. 

School will not handle re-issue of cards if they are lost or misplaced.

Children can start using their cards to borrow books from our School library.  Parents can make a photocopy of their cards for them to borrow books and safe-keep the actual card.

 

Learning about animals from P3B

The pupils have been reading about savannah animals in the past week. Coincidentally, 3B's pupils did a book project on animals, so we invited them to our class on Friday to share with the pupils their project. Each group had a P3 pupil to share with them about a particular animal. After listening attentively to the P3 pupils, they asked them questions on the animals. Both the P1 and P3 pupils were very enthusiastic about the sharing and they enjoyed themselves tremendously. Next week, the P1 pupils will be doing their own individual writing on animals.

Short, Tall, Big or Small?

Animals on the Savannah

Our first Big Book for Term 2 is 'Short, Tall, Big or Small', in which pupils read about some savannah animals. Below are 2 video clips on more savannah animals.

Holiday Homework for English

The English files were returned to the pupils today so that they can revise their work during the holidays. Please remove all the worksheets in the file and let your child bring back an empty file to school next Term. This will lighten the load. We will then use the file for Term 2's worksheets.

During the holidays, do get your child to:
(1)read at least 5 story books
(2)learn spelling
(3)complete the penmanship exercises

Thank you and enjoy the holidays with your child.

Myself

The pupils wrote about themselves.

CCA and Math File

Dear Parents,
For the pupils' Art CCA which begins on 23rd March, the Art teacher requires them to bring along an Art apron or a big, old T-shirt to prevent their uniform from being dirtied. Please label the apron or T-shirt with your child's name and class, and get them to hand it to me by next Wednesday.

I have returned pupils' Math File (Blue) as well as their Part 1 Workbook. They may keep these at home for revision over the March holidays. However, I will be collecting the Math File once school re-opens. Please help to ensure that all their marked Math Worksheets are duly filed.

At the Library

The pupils went to the library yesterday. They had a selection of books to pick from to read. After reading for half an hour, they selected their favourite book and wrote a simple book review on it. They identified the title and author of the book and wrote a phrase on what the book is about. They also drew a picture of the book.

'What we are frightened of' and 'How we travel'

After reading 'Hairy Bear', pupils gave their individual response to the story. In the Big Book, Mama Bear was frightened of robbers. The pupils wrote about what they were frightened of. Some of them also explained why they were frightened of the object or animal.





After reading the Big Book, 'To Town', the pupils wrote about the mode of transport they will use to travel to a place. They also named the colour of the vehicle.
