Math Updates

We have completed the topics on Division and Time.
Last 2 topics for Term 4 will be Numbers to 100 and Money.

The pupils will sit for their Math SA2 Alternative Assessment (Practical Test, 10% of SA2) on 24 September.

Things to do for the Holidays:
1. Math Workbook, Review 6, pg. 35 to 38.
2. Time Worksheet
3. Parents to sign on pg. 33 of Workbook and on Test 6
4. File all marked worksheets and test papers into the blue Math file

English Oral Assessment on next Monday

The pupils have learnt how to use the Audacity program to record their own reading. The reading rubrics for assemssment were also explained to them. Some of the recordings were played in class and the pupils listened to their friends' reading and did peer evaluation. Next Monday, pupils will be taking their English oral test. The marks (10%) will be included in the S.A.2.

To get a good grade, pupils should:
(1) pronounce the words clearly (e.g. do not forget the last consonant sounds, e.g. sat, days, rests, like)
(2) read fluently (do not give a jerky delivery)
(3) read at an appropriate pace (with appropriate pauses after commas and full-stops)
(4) read with expression (with varying pitch and appropriate tone)
(5) be loud enough to be clear (should not be too soft or too loud)

I have listened to the pupils' recordings and most of them are able to read fluently. However, a number of them missed out the last consonant sounds. Some of them read in a monotone and a few were too soft. Please help your child to practise reading before the test. Thank you.

Reminder: There will be an English Quiz tomorrow.
