13 August

ENGLISH

1. Sign Spelling book and complete the corrections by 18/08.

2. Do Speak Well booklet pages 22 to 24 by Monday 18/08.

3. Compo AMODES next Wednesday, 20 August. For AMODES, the boys are encouraged to prepare by going through their previous writing practices for this term and writing matters. They can also prepare for future writing practices found in their writing matters which were returned to them previously as a way to revise. They can also read up on model compositions for good phrases, introductions and conclusions and use them during the practice and also during the test. 

One last thing, I will be collecting their compo files for checking after the Amodes. I have told the boys that the best files will be rewarded. I hope this helps to motivate them to keep their files in order and ensure that everything is kept neatly for future references. 

One picture for today, let's tell the boys that they can do it! :D

11 August (part 2)

ENGLISH

Writing practice 9 was about 'the day you lost something'. Most of the boys did well for this composition. I was slightly lenient in my marking. I do not want them to feel demoralised and they cannot get good marks. Yet, I do not want them to be complacent and think that their composition is the best. I told them that this Writing Practice served as a practise for them before the real Amodes in week 8 or week 9. 

I want to especially applaud Jozef and Adam for writing good compositions. I will be sharing their compositions with the class. I am seeing improvements in some of the boys. They are now trying their best to express themselves more in their writing. I really hope that they keep this up. 

Dear parents, the writing amodes format will be similar to the writing practices that we have been doing so far. I highly encouraged the boys to firm up their style of writing the introduction and conclusion. They were also told to beef up their story with good vocabulary words. I have told the boys to write a minimum of at least one and a half pages in order to 'play safe' when writing their compositions. I do not want them to count word by word. 

For the weaker boys, I have been letting them look and copy model compositions. The better boys only needed to take down the good phrases from the model compositions.

I really hope that the boys apply what they have learnt and did so far, during the amodes and SA2. 

Thank you parents for guiding your sons. Let us keep pushing them to do their best. :)

Let's end off with this picture. :)



Have a great day! :)

ENGLISH

Please be reminded that the boys will have Spelling tomorrow (12/08). :)

For the previous AMODES, the level teachers have decided that the boys will not be given zero if they had punctuation errors but they will only be deducted by 1/2 mark.

4th August

ENGLISH

1) File in Collective nouns into EL file. I've checked and filled in the blanks for those who were not sure of the answers. I've stamped 'Checked by Mdm Syaz' at the top corner of the first page. All the answers can be found on the first two pages of the worksheet.

2) File WP8 into Compo file. Some boys have forgotten to staple the good phrases onto their WP8, please remind them to do so.

I have returned those who have handed in to me. Those who have just submitted today, I will return them tomorrow and they are to file it into their file. 

For the AMODES result, I've told them the highest mark which is 29.5 out of 30 and revealed to them the person who scored the highest. I will not reveal the others until further instructions from the other EL level teachers. 

To end off for today, I would like to share this quote that I found below. Probably, I will share other quotes too once in a while when I have the time. :) Do share it with your sons as I will not have the time to share it with them in class. :)  If you do have any quotes that you would like me to share in the future posts, please feel free to email me. :) 


Thank you and have a great evening. :)

04 August

ENGLISH

The boys were given Pupil's WB homework, pages 14 to 17 last Friday. Some boys have handed in their WBs.

I am sorry as I was not able to update the blog last week as I had P6 Oral till evening and I had to rush off for some personal matters. I was also not able to post over the weekend as this account is managed by Mdm Mayah and is tagged to her MOE account. Hence, I am only able to post using the school's laptop.  

I collected the WP8 Corrections from the boys last Friday and there were 10 boys who did not submit the corrections. I am not sure why they were not able to hand in their work. I have decided not to allow them more than one day to complete their homework. Starting from today, for all the homework given, they are to submit it immediately the next day. 

For the ten boys who did not hand in, I will give them chance if they hand it in today. Otherwise, I will have to keep them during recess to complete their work. 

Dear parents, please help to ensure that the boys hand in their work on time. Thank you. :)

I showed the boys this picture below last Friday and pointed out some of the more commonly misspelt words (especially no. 1, 3, 5 and 10).


That is all for now. 

Thank you once again for your understanding. :)
