Talking Point

Dear all,

We are having this assembly program "Talking Point" which 3 students will be selected to go up to the stage to talk about certain issues.

1A is involved in this topic:
"We are proud to be a Singaporean / a Singapore Permanent Resident / living in Singapore."

As the name suggests, it aims to provide a platform for 3 pupils in each class to present their views/opinions on a given NE message / theme. This programme also aims to instil in pupils the love for Singapore and rootedness in our country through this platform.

If your child is willing to participate, please write a short story (approximately 5 sentences) on the topic given. Pass it back to me or to the social studies teacher Mrs Lam next Tuesday. Our class is scheduled to present sometime in mid-May.

Thanks/regards,
Mdm Chan

Plans for tomorrow: 15-April-11

2) During the 2 hours, we'll be making some sandwiches which is one of the activities for the stellar book we are reading at the moment: The Hungry Giant. As we are only providing jam for this activity, if you would like to contribute, (e.g. a can of tuna), please ask your child to bring them tomorrow morning. (Please ensure this is halal.)

Apologies for the late notice, but this is just something optional. In any case, we'll still carry out the activity with the jam.

Clarification on Spelling

Dear all,

Just a clarification from a parent which I thought it would be best to clarified.

The numbers 11 -- 20 and ordinal numbers are to be tested randomly during Maths periods, when we have some free time after our normal work.

It may be quite a lot of work to learn, but not all the words would be tested at one shot. Besides, these words should be learnt as they form part of the Maths syllabus.

Pls do not be unduly worried if your child cannot spell these words immediately, but just note that along the way, we will need to know how to spell these words as we move along.

The normal spelling this Wednesday remains the same. Spelling 1 of Term 2.

Thanks/regards,
Mdm Chan

Friday -- outdoor activity

For the next few Fridays in Term 2,

Pls bring along:
1) Water bottle
2) Cap
3) a small towel to clean off their sweat.
