6 August 2015 (Thursday) -- National Day Celebrations

Dear children,

I hope you enjoyed the National Day celebrations today as you played with your SG50 "Building My SG" Lego sets to build your Singapore and watched the concert specially put up for you. Here are some photographs that Mr Vai and I took:

If you would like to build something different and iconic with your SG50 "Building My SG" Lego Set, you can watch the following two videos and try out the Dragon Playground and the Singapore Flyer.

As promised earlier this week, the "P3/5 Money Games Challenge" is now ready! 

Here is what you have to do:

1) Scroll down to look at the Challenge Scores Submission Form below. You will be playing 3 "puzzle types" in the Money Master game (http://www.mathsisfun.com/money/money-master.html).

2) The requirements for each game are stated in the form. For example, for Game 1, you will compete by using Singapore currency and playing the "A Few Coins (No Totals)" puzzle type.

3) For each puzzle type, you will need to note down your scores on paper first so that you can key them into the form later.

4) You can play the 3 puzzle types as many times as you like and improve your scores. Do your best! 

5) When you think you have achieved your best scores for all 3 puzzle types, enter your scores using the form truthfully. Then, click on the blue "Submit" button at the bottom of the form to send those information to me. Do not cheat. Show good sportsmanship in this challenge! :)

6) Participation is compulsory. I should receive 40 entries. The closing date for submission is 14 August 2015 (next Friday). 

As Week 6 comes to an end, I understand that some of you would want to spend part of this long weekend reviewing some of your work and preparing for the upcoming CA2, which would be held in Weeks 8 and 9. In case you do not remember, here are the dates for English, Science and Maths:

English: 17 August, Monday (Week 8)

Science: 19 August, Wednesday (Week 8)

By now, you would have received the following items for English and Science which you can already use for revision this weekend if you want to:

"Life On The River" booklet

We will be going through these slides in class next week.

Maths materials will be returned over next week as we complete the outstanding corrections as part of revision.

Remember to refer to your handbook and act on what you have taken down. Do not forget to prepare for your final spelling test for this term. 

Will you earn some ice-cream sticks for your group? :)

Have an enjoyable long weekend with your family celebrating SG50! See you on Tuesday! :)
