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.

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.

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.
