Re: Daily updates for 11th of Feb

Hi all,
Welcome back to school! It's nice seeing all our little darlings so lively and happy. However I did notice some boys having difficulty concentrating towards the later part of the day. I found out that it was due to the lack of sleep and hence just a gentle reminder please ensure that our darlings have sufficient rest in the midst of the festive season.
A quick update on the happenings in class today. Thanks to our reading mums, our class has started reading the 2nd set of readers "Being grumpy with grown ups". It's basically a light-hearted tale about how phrases like "pulling up your socks" or "what's on TV?" can be taken literally by little children. We also did group work on creating a circus poster. The boys learnt a little about graphic design i.e. layout of the pictures in a poster, how to use colours to attract the audience, how to transfer important information to readers etc.
Furthermore, we did some revision exercises in the English workbook about shapes and colours. The boys did some play activities during the speech and drama session and watched a video on "How a lama found its mama".
Ok, here's the homework assignment for today:

(1) Your child has been given a notice on teach me to fish programme. It starts on 20th of Feb. Kindly get your child to wear a pair of sch shoes with shoelaces on 20th of Feb in order to facilitate them in learning how to tie their shoelaces.

(2) Reading test on a poem found in pg 25 of the English Textbook will commence tomorrow. The reading test rubrics has been given out earlier with the show and tell rubrics.

(3)Pls get your boy to deposit his OCBC form into a letterbox found outside the general office by 13th of Feb if he wishes to open an account with the bank. The closing date is 13th of Feb.

(4) Pls get your boy to bring the donations for our sch indoor sports hall building fund if you have not already done so. The closing date is this Fri, 15th of Feb.

(5) Spelling test for unit 3.1 will commence on Wednesday 13th of Feb. Pls get your child to revise through the words before Wed.

That's all. Take care folks and God Bless.

Love,
Teresa
