DONATE USED TEXTBOOKS TO FAIRPRICE SHARE-A-TEXTBOOK 2010

Hi all,

Our school is participating in the FairPrice Share-A-Textbook project.

This is one of NTUC FairPrice's programme that is implemented every year. This evergreen project has three main objectives: help needy students, protect the environment and encourage thrift. Launched in 1983, the FairPrice Used Textbooks Project has since helped more than 130,000 needy students save more than $9 million in textbook expenses, through the collection of over 1.8 million textbooks.

Into its 28th year, they have given the project a new branding – FairPrice Share-A-Textbook. With this new branding, they hope to heighten awareness of this project so as to reach out to more needy students.

The collection period in our school is from 8th November to 12th November. Please ask your child to pass to me the textbook(s) that you would like to donate.

Thank you for your kind donations.

Health Screening 2010

Dear everyone,

The school health service team has come to conduct the annual health check-ups.

The class is scheduled for the health screening on Wednesday, 10 Nov 2010 and Thursday, 11 Nov 2010.

Please be reminded that the pupils must be in PE attire on their health screening day.

Thank you for your prompt submissions of the Health Booklet and Medical Information form.

Helping young children deal with anger

Dear parents,

Sometimes, some of us struggle in helping children manage their anger and deal with their emotions, especially when something happens that causes them to feel angry. Some children may resort to shouting at the person they are angry at and others may even physically hurt the person who provoked them. As such, it is important that they are taught from a very young age how to deal with their anger issues so that they do not flare up so easily and learn to react appropriately to situations that may arise in future.

I found these websites to be quite useful in helping children manage their anger. http://www.athealth.com/Consumer/issues/childsanger.html
http://www.angermanagementtips.com/children.htm
http://www.angriesout.com/parent1.htm

I hope they will be of use to you as well.

Materials for revision

Hi all,

I have returned the Maths files for revision for SA2. The students were also given their Maths Workbook 1B Part 2 to bring home for revision.

Collection of Health Booklet

Hi all,

This is a reminder for all students to submit their health booklets to me as the team from the School Health Service will be coming to our school soon for the annual check-up. Please ask your child to pass it to me as soon as possible. Thank you.

Detailed scope of exams

Hi all,

I hope that your child showed you the detailed scope of English and Maths SA2 exams yesterday. Please adhere to the topics listed there for revision. There is specific instructions there for parents to help their children in their revision.

Dear everyone,

I will be conducting a practice paper for English and Maths each this Thursday and Friday as preparation for the SA2 exams. As such, I will release the English files today, earlier than planned, so as to facilitate the students to revise for the practice English paper at home. Students may keep the files at home from then on for revision for the SA2. For Maths revision, students are to use the textbooks 1A and 1B for revision. The Maths files and workbook will be returned for SA2 revision on Friday.

On another note, please get your child to bring the Maths Workbook 1B Part 1 back to school tomorrow. We will cover the topic on Mental Calculations this week.

Welcome to Term 2

Dear all,

Welcome back to school for Term 2. I can see that many of you have settled down well in the school and are able to meet the expectations of the school for the Primary 1 children. For those who have yet to settle in to primary school life, here are some reminders:

- Hand in forms and homework on time. Do the homework properly.
Example: For story writing in the Jotter Book, please leave a line when writing.

- Come to school early for silent reading in the morning. Bring an interesting story book to read.
Example: Come to school around 7.15am.

- Come up to the hall on time after recess. Sing the recess song.
Example: The moment the first bell rings after recess, come up to the hall.

- If you wish to consume sweet drinks, only drink them in the canteen during recess.
Example: Water bottles in the classroom should only be filled with plain water. No sweet drinks are allowed in the classroom.

- Respect others.
Example: Ask permission before taking things from your classmates. Remember to raise your hand in class when you want to say something. Pay attention in class. Treat others the way you would like them to treat you.

- Bring enough pocket money for recess.
Example: Nobody should borrow or take money from other children in the school. If you need help, ask someone at the school office for help.

Term 2 will also see the Primary 1 students taking examinations in the school for the first time, the Semestral Assessment 1. This will be held some time in May. Details of the exam will be released nearer to the date. Study hard and do well in your exams.

Let's look forward to a great Term 2 together!

Results of Maths CA1

Dear all,

I have returned the Maths CA1 paper to the children today. They are to bring it home and ask their parents to sign it, below the marks. I have gone through the corrections for each of the questions in class. Your child should be able to complete his/her corrections at home.

Materials returned in preparation for Maths CA1

Dear parents,

I have returned to your child two things to help you to revise with him/her for the upcoming Maths test. He/she will be bringing home the Maths Workbook 1A Part 1 and Maths file. The Maths file is to be returned back on Wednesday, after the Maths test.

The Workbook 1A Part 1 need not be returned back to me anymore. You can keep it at home and it can be used for revision for future tests and exams. However, if your child still has corrections in that book which he/she has not done or did wrongly, I would have folded the pages in the book where the corrections need to be done. Please help him/her to complete them and hand the book in to me on Wednesday, after the test.

A typing game

Hi all,

I have included, on the right, a link to an online typing game. It will help your child to improve his/her touch typing skills as he/she types out the words. It also helps to improve your child's spelling skills.

Have fun trying!

Maths test to be conducted next week

Dear parents,

While I will not announce small tests and quizzes that are done after every two units, I will announce about the next Maths test coming up. It's the Continual Assessment 1 (CA1) from the Maths Test 1 book. This is because the CA1 encompasses the students' learning of the concepts taught from the start of the year. The marks from the test will not contribute to the Semestral Assessment 1 marks.

Please revise with your child the following units for the test:

• Numbers to 10
• Number Bonds
• Addition within 10
• Subtraction within 10

I will conduct the test on Wednesday, 10 March 2010. Thank you parents for your support.

Spelling 7 Week 9

Hi all,

Here is the order of the words I read out for spelling today.

1. silver
2. bulldozer
3. yellow
4. vintage car
5. blue
6. motor bike
7. green
8. fire engine
9. orange
10. helicopter

Means of checking your child's performance in school

Dear parents,

I'm sure all of you are concerned about how your child is faring in class in terms of his/her English and Maths mastery. Let me assure you that we conduct regular quizzes to check on your child's progress in the subjects. After every two topics covered in class, students will sit for a short quiz based on the two topics. Parents will sign the quiz papers once I have marked them and passed them back to the students. These quizzes are then filed in the English and Maths files respectively.

For example, the students did English quiz 1 for Unit 1 Farm Concert and Unit 2 Mrs Wishy-Washy, which they brought home for parents to sign after I had marked it.

For Maths, the quizzes are found in the Maths Test 1 book. After completing Unit 1 Numbers to 10 and Unit 2 Number Bonds, the students did Maths Test 1. This was also brought home and signed by parents.

When signing the quiz papers, please check the areas of improvement for your child and guide your child in areas he/she may need more help in. As these are short quizzes held to check your child's understanding of the topics taught in class, I will not let parents know in advance about when the quizzes will be conducted. Students should already have mastered the basic concepts tested and be able to answer the questions without preparations by parents beforehand at home. I also would not want the children to be stressed out by these quizzes by having them go through much preparation at home before sitting for them. The marks from these quizzes do not count towards the marks that will be entered in the report book. Marks entered in report book will be based solely on Mid-Year and Final Year exam papers.

Furthermore, your child will also bring home the English worksheets done in class for parents to sign once the worksheets are completed. I have also asked them to bring the Maths workbook home today to complete their corrections and for parents to sign on the last page. Please look through their work done and help to coach your child more in the areas he/she may be weak in.

Rainbow Day 1

Dear all,

The school celebrated Rainbow Day 1 yesterday. How wonderful everyone looked coming to school in their going-out clothes. We enjoyed ourselves at the Rainbow Day concert watching the energetic performances put up by students from P3, P5 and P6. Every class will get to perform on stage at least once a year. I'm sure we all can't wait for our turn to perform.
We also had a special performance put up by our guests from the School of the Deaf. It was an enriching experience for the students as they learnt that we can't clap for them because they can't hear. Instead, we waved our hands in the air to show our appreciation.
We would also like to wish Mr Chia, our principal, a very happy birthday as it was his birthday yesterday.
