Dear children,
We started on the second last unit of English for this year today -- "Give Me That Wallet!" As we read the fictional newspaper article, we discussed some of your opinions on buying branded wallets. Many of you, including Conan, Hoi Yung, Enrui and Keagan, gave us some very good opinions. We also learnt some new vocabulary like "breeze", "chain", "branch", "sport", "gearing up", and "uncover".
We got to go to an air-conditioned classroom in the afternoon during our last three periods. Because it was the first time we activated the Haze Classroom Rotation Plan due to the high PSI readings, it took us some time to move over to the classroom. Nevertheless, I was thankful that the move helped us all to avoid the haze and feel much better.
There, we continued with English and learnt to differentiate between "at least" and "exactly". We also learnt to expand sentences by adding examples and using the word "like" or "including".
These are the 7 Super Spellers who achieved full marks for yesterday's spelling test:
Super Spellers
Jing Min from Eagle
Jonathan from Crystal
Ranjiv from Bugatti
Isaac from Friendship
Richelle and Shaan from Winners
Rowena from Interact
Each of them earned 2 ice-cream sticks for their groups.
As a class, we did not do too well this time. Take a look:
(Click to zoom in.)
Most of you who were close to having a perfect score (11 or 12 marks) either did not check your work properly or were not prepared well enough with the meanings of the words to handle Items 11 to 13. You need to put in more effort in those two areas.
Children who scored 6 marks and below are to prepare for a re-spelling test during Thursday's recess. These are your Register Numbers: 21, 27, 35, 40.
To spice up the competition for this short September, I have also awarded 1 ice-cream stick to each of the following children for their good efforts in properly finishing up the corrections in their Science Activity Books (Interaction) and obediently asking for signatures from their parents yesterday:
Huda from Elementine
Chufang, Jing Min and Alvan from Eagle
Hayley from Crystal
Christian and Sujith from Bugatti
Chloe Chiang from Friendship
Avery, Marc and Joshua from Pros
Samir from Masterchef
Alden, Shineta and Jia Ning from Cotton
Richelle, Shaan and Sarah from Winners
Conan, Lai Ye and Rowena from Interact
Check out the "Scores Update" section on the left to see how well your group is doing. Tomorrow will be the last day of the September competition. ;)
See you tomorrow for another fruitful day of learning. As mentioned in class, we will be spending some time tomorrow writing the composition that we were intending to write last Friday when school closed. I hope to have you write another composition (the final one for this year) on Friday. If we cannot find the time to do that on Friday, we will do it next Monday. All these are to gear you up for your SA2 Composition Examination on the Monday of Week 5 (12 October 2015).
