Updates 10th July 2015

Dear Parents,

We had a successful Green week with the entire collection of recycled paper crossing 7000kg. I have sent you some photos of the class efforts as well. I would like to thank the parents who went an extra mile to send the paper to school and for being supportive of the school's efforts in recycling.

Maths matters: I have covered "Addition of 3 numbers" today as well as "Word problems". There are few strategies to do the addition. One is to make groups of 10 and count. Another way is to count on. However, each child has his strengths and comforts. So they can use either one to complete the addition of 3 numbers. The other part I covered is 'Word problems'. Please ensure that 3 parts of the answers are written.

1) Number equation
2) Working
3) Final answer

I have sent you an example of a good work and my answer key as well. You can refer to it while teaching your son.

They need to complete Page 29 to 32 of Chapter 11 booklet as homework. Please also sign Page 28 of the booklet. Please take note of the comments and mistakes that he has made so that he can improve on his work.

Please also sign Maths non-routine questions worksheet.

There will be a Spelling test on Monday.

We did another session of Outdoor Education today. The boys went out to draw the maps of the field and the canteen, to show the importance of landmarks and orientation of maps.

One last request: The class has voted to decorate the classroom for the upcoming National day celebrations. I would like to make the classroom and the lockers look appealing and colourful. So I need your help to print and bring in writeups or pictures that are about Singapore.

Some suggestions:
- significant locations in Singapore (landmarks, attractions)
- symbols (Merlion, Parliament House, National Flag)
- Writeups of Historical Events

Thanks and hope to see some great work from the boys.

Thanks and regards,
Mrs Priya Chopra
