Last Friday, we did the Grammar CLoze (optional worksheet) in class. After we had completed the worksheet, the boys were instructed to draw at the last page of the booklet. The best drawing came from Zachary Tay.

Below are the other masterpieces by the boys. :D

Sorry for the poor video quality on YouTube. :)

8 October 2014

ENGLISH

Since the boys were restless during the last few minutes during the last period today, I made them read their storybooks. I told them to write on a piece of foolscap paper what they have read during the period as homework. They can either summarise the story or copy the paragraphs. I believe that this may also help in their writing other than simply asking them to remain silent without doing anything while waiting for the bell.

Please do not worry as our class has completed the syllabus and I just need to return them their WP12 corrections and the trial papers which they have done in class. I have been giving them extra papers as practice too. 

Please help to ensure that their EL files are in order to facilitate their revision for the upcoming exams.

Thank you parents! :) 

I will upload their Children's Day video hopefully soon. :D

Have a nice day!

CHILDREN'S DAY CELEBRATION ON 3RD OCTOBER 2014

A big thank you to Mrs Cheng (Andre's Mummy) and Mrs Lim (Xuan Wei's Mummy) for helping out during the Lower Primary Sports Day last Thursday. Both of you were a great help! 

Below are just some of the pictures of the celebration cum Sports Day :D

30 September

ADMIN MATTERS

1. 3 Goodness still needs another parent volunteer to look after our class boys during the Lower Primary Sports day this Thursday from 7.15 till 10 a.m. All the lower primary teachers are deployed as game masters on that day. For now, we only have Mrs Lim (Xuan Wei's mummy) to help out on that day. Please email or message me at 91096310 if you are free to help out. Thank you in advance! :)

2. 8 boys were given the parents survey form from the school. Please fill them in and submit it on 1 October. There will not be any OAS given though the survey form stated so. 



ENGLISH

1. The boys did their WP12 compo on 'a place in Singapore or overseas that you visited with your family'. Most of the boys got carried away talking about the activities that they did when they went overseas for a holiday. They must have been confused/ unsure due to the word 'overseas' and rattle on about their trip. Although most of them were good compos, they did not really manage to bring out the main topic which was to write about only one place. Some of them talked about a few places instead. I would accept those who talk about one place for example Osaka, and they then go on to talk about whatever activities they have done in Osaka. However, I will not really accept if they talk about Osaka, Tokyo and many other places. I have not completed marking all the compos but I hope that once I return them, they will realise their mistakes and try to write a better piece.

Below is a documentary on what are the different things that people can do in Bangkok. Something which the boys can think about. :)

2. Today's spelling will be the last one for the year. Hopefully they can revise the words, understand the meanings and apply some of them in their writings. 

That is all for today! :D

Have a great day ahead!

26 September 2014

ENGLISH

1. Sign Learning Sheet 15.

2. File in Learning Sheet 15, Basic Practice 4, 5 and 6. I will start collecting the files some time in October for checking. 

3. Oral - the teachers are not supposed to release the oral results till further notice. The only feedback that I can give is that generally the boys did alright. Their voices are loud enough. However, some of them were not really able to answer some of the stimulus-based questions but once I have taken into account all the answers for the other questions, their marks are not too bad. There were also a handful who did not want to explain their answers and were just satisfied with one sentence. 

4. The most recent compo that they did were not very well done. It was quite a simple topic on a 'party that you organised or attended'. Most of them only wrote 1.5 pages. Hence, most of their compos have loopholes in it. I have been encouraging them to write longer than that so that they are 'forced' to elaborate on each event/activity. I told them previously that it would be good if they can write about 3 to 4 pages. The following link can help them think about possible ideas for parties in the future. :)

Or we can help them to create experiences like the one in this video:
