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

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

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.

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.

Practice Papers for English and Maths

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.

Happy Children’s Day

Dear all,

Happy Children’s Day!

All of us had lots of fun watching the concert item put up by the teachers as well as the Rainbow Day 4 items. Everyone looked gorgeous in their home clothes. That was the last Rainbow Day for this year. I’m sure you will look forward to more next year. I hope you liked the gifts that you received from the teachers and the school.
