No school from 14th Oct to 17th Oct

Hi Parents,

Just a reminder, there will be no lessons from the 14th oct to 17th October due to PSLE marking. I will be going to another school to do marking. :)

Meanwhile, try to do revision with your child as when they reutrn on the 20th October (monday), there will be many assessments coming their way.

Here are the assessment schedule:

1) 20th October (Monday)
Listening test



2) 24th October
Picture writing (composition)
They have to write a composition using the 4 pictures given on the day of assessment.

I will be giving them a compo to write during the holiday. Try to let them write on their own first, so you can have a rough gauge of how well they can write.

I have taught them to use an individual checklist (we created this checklist together as a class) to check their own writing. Please enforce this at home when they are writing as this will really reduce those unnecessary writing errors such as capital letters and paragraphing.


3) 30th October
Maths review test 5

Topics will include numbers to 100, add and subtract, time, money, multiplication and division.
Do get your child to MEMORISE the multiplication table for 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10!

And there is a difference when we write 2 x 5 and 5 x 2
2 x 5 means 2 groups of 5 whereas  5 x 2 means 5 groups of 2. Do ensure that they write the correct multiplication statement when they are practising at home.

4) 31st October 
English Mini Test (STELLAR Units 9 to 13)

An important emphasis for this test is, to ensure your child answers in full sentences for the Comprehension. Do refer to The King's Cake unit to understand what I mean.
For example,  when your child writes

"once a year"  --> phrase, not a full sentence.

"He only gets to eat birthday cake once a year." --> full sentence! :D

Other than the assignments, I also have given them homework!

1) Helpful Eliasians @ home
Parents need to help your child to endorse this when they perform a certain household chore at home.
2) Multiplication and division worksheet
3) Composition
4) Signatture for Stellar unit and Maths


LASTLY, could all parents remind your child to bring another 30 clear plastic folders to be put into their portfolio file???

THANK YOU!

Mrs Say
