Updates 28th August 2015

Dear Parents,

Here are some updates for this week.

1) We have done the Writing booklet (Term 3) which includes focus on adjectives and writing a composition based on 4 pictures. I have given them feedback about their writing and would like you to read it as well. Please help them with construction of sentences and writing out a story at home, using these materials. On top of that, I have typed out model compositions for them to look at. These are taken from their classmates who have done really well. There is a page on SBA book that focuses on Introductions. Please take a look at it and guide them to write good introductions. There is a English Individual Writing test on Monday, which has no weighting. Please ensure they are prepared for it.

2) We have completed the topic of Division this week. I have returned he division test paper but I will only be going through the paper on Monday. Please sign and return on Monday. Please place all their worksheets into the respective files. I will be collecting all the files on Wednesday so I can check them over the holidays.

3) I shared a video for them to memorise the times table. This is quite interactive and the boys loved it a lot.

4) We have been doing Art for the past two days as we had a lot of academic work to complete prior to that. We have learnt about primary and secondary colours. We used our oil pastel crayons to blend the colours. Today we continued learning about warm and cool colours. We have coloured these warm and cool colours in our sketch books. There is a task that we will be working on and will have to get prepared by end of September. We need to create a magical garden with these techniques and colours learnt during Art lesson. I will surely be sourcing out for some ideas before we begin on this project. Please allow your son to bring along a spare t-shirt for him to pull over his uniform so we can work with the crayons and paint in the next few lessons. I have shared some of these photos in whatsapp.

5) Teachers' day is around the corner and thus we will be having a school holiday on Friday, 4th September. Thursday will be a short day, so please ensure that they have a heavy breakfast and pick them up at 10am. Please read the letter from Mr Goh regarding the celebrations.

6) Badminton enrichment lessons letter has been given out. Please sign up for it if you are interested.

Thanks and have a great weekend.

Regards,
Mrs Chopra
