Announcement - 14-April

Dear all,

Please note the Edusave forms need to be submitted. (This was sent out in the previous week's notification.)

Should you have misplaced this, please ask your child to approach me for another copy of this form.

MLEA book:
The Left Hand side of the book should be big lines, and on the right hand side of the book, there is a square (meant for a drawing) and accompanying big lines. Thanks.


Plans for tomorrow: 15-April-11
===============================
1) There is no PAL lesson tomorrow. Hence, there is no need to bring the cap, or small towel.

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.

3) Same as before, a small bag containing pencil case, story book, water bottle and MT (Mother Tongue) materials is required.


Homework for the weekend:
=========================
This will be given out tomorrow. I'll be issuing the challenging worksheets to most of the pupils in the class. This is something to stretch the children. Please help your child in these worksheets; it will be given out one - two worksheets p/week. Please complete and submit them back the following Monday.

Thanks/regards,
Mdm Chan
