Dear Parents,
As the PSLE is on, the school is told to be silent during the examinations as well. As such, the children will be doing the following these 5 days:-
a) Revision Papers (full papers)
b) Specific revision papers (on particular aspects e.g. editing)
c) Creation of a self-constructed comics strip (good for story construction practice for Composition writing)
d) Silent reading
P.S. As such, unless they could not complete their written work in class like the rest, there should not be any homework as they are doing quite a lot of written work these 5 days.
Thank you.
Have a good day and a great weekend!

Dear Parents,
Today we had filing and corrections, followed by reviewing oral tips with the children - Do's and Dont's as well as how to pronounce clearly and read with expression. The children then listened to good samples of oral reading so that they are aware of how to do it themselves.
There is no homework issued today. Homework issued last week - composition- is due tomorrow.
All the best to your child for SA2 EL Oral this afternoon.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Parents,
As the doctor has given me 2 days of medical leave (19 and 20 September), on 20 September, your child will be completing a revision paper during my absence so that your child can still review to prepare for SA2. I will review with your child when I return.
Thanks.

Dear Parents,
Today we spent time to review the homework issued yesterday (LS 8.1-8.3) and the children reviewed that words can have multiple meanings and they also learnt to use them in different context.
We then listened to stories (it was the reading period for us today) and we used that occasion to listen to good reading aloud as well (to better prepare for EL Oral).
There is NO homework issued today (but the children are to go to McOnline Oral Buddy to do self practise).
There is NO school tomorrow for the children as it is PSLE Listening Comprehension tomorrow.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

P.S. I will be messaging you with regard to feedback about your child this weekend. Thanks.

Topics that we had practised in class (as a group project) on 13 Sept 2017
Dear Parents,
Apologies for the pics which were not well-taken. This was printed for the children to practise and I took pics for your information. Thanks.

Dear Parents,
Today we reviewed what we had learnt for the Stellar Reader " Give me that Wallet". Homework was Learning Sheets 8.1-8.3 (Due tomorrow). Homework due Monday will be at least 4 attempts to practise (with recording) on Oral Buddy for Reading Aloud and Conversations on McOnline.
Then we focused on using TREES for elaborating for the Conversations. The children practised and discussed what to share using TREES for 4 given topics today as a group project.
I will upload copies of the 4 topics that we have practised and also what we have shared about TREES as well in my next posts.
Thanks.

Dear Parents,
Today we spent time on three components
a) review and corrections for work done previously
b) review and testing of Spelling words for Week 1
c) preparation of oral - with review on pronunciation (with video showing how to pronounce ending sounds 'ed' in different words; and listening to good diction and expression via stories read to them by native speakers) and oral conversation (review of the strategy of TREES for answering EACH and EVERY question asked by the oral examiner. I have also given them a handout with an example of how TREES is used as well.
There is no written homework given but I have encouraged them to go to ORAL Buddy these two weeks to practise and record (to listen and review) their reading aloud and oral conversation.
Thank you.

Thanks.
