30 July

ENGLISH

Just for today:

1) Do Spelling corrections and sign by 31/07/14.

2) Do corrections for WP8 by 01/08. Similar to WP7, some boys were still not familiar with the format of writing compositions in first person. Some of the boys also focussed too much on the pictures instead of the main question which was on the most memorable present. 


AMODES
From the boys' answers for their AMODES test today, I've gathered that although I had reminded them to check for s/p/g [spelling/punctuation/grammar] for their comprehension questions, some of them still did not check every single detail in their answers. Hence, most of the boys did not manage to score especially for the question that asked for the sentence from the passage as they either forgot to write one word or they did not write 'Disney' with a capital D. Since it is a lifting question, any word missing or any punctuation error, they will be given zero. This is the section that 'killed' most of the boys. 

Dear parents, please help to remind the boys the importance of checking their work thoroughly.

The test papers will only be given out once the other classes have completed them and there's clearance from the level teachers. 

Thank you and have a great evening! :)

24 July

ENGLISH

Attached below is the video showing boys parading in their ethnic costumes. Only 3 boys from 3 Goodness turned up in their ethnic costume. I hope that the boys will put in more effort to participate in wearing their ethnic clothes next year. :)


On another note, I have informed the boys that for this term and next term, I won't be using the Little Red Dot during class time. However, they are highly encouraged to do any page from the newspaper and hand it in to me. I will mark it and return it to them personally. :)

Yesterday, the boys did their Writing Practice 8 in class. As I went round while they were writing the composition, I realised that some of them did not answer the question well. The question was about 'the most memorable present you have received'. Some either focussed more on writing about the birthday celebration/party they had instead of the present itself. Some did not write in first person. I hope that if the boys were to practise writing compositions at home, they will write about themselves instead of imaginary characters. This is because for term 3 and 4, all the composition will be about personal experiences. Even if they have never had that kind of experience, they need to make up a story and write it in first person. I will also remind the boys again in class today. 

Thank you and have a blessed day! :D

22 July

ENGLISH

1. Sign Learning Sheet 10, file it into EL file and study LS10.1 and LS 10.2 for next week's test on Wednesday (30/07). I've just got confirmation that it will be on Wednesday so I have not informed the boys the exact day of the test. I will inform them tomorrow.

2. Study for Spelling next Tuesday. (29/07)

3. I've put up a folder at the noticeboard at the back of the classroom for the boys to express their concerns or anything at all just for me to read and reflect. In this way, I hope that the boys can come forward and tell me how I can help them, either just for English or any other things that is within my capacity. Parents, please encourage your sons to write. It is up to them how long they want to write. I will not read them aloud to the class. I told them that they are not supposed to take out anything from my folder but they can only put their letters in it. If they don't feel secure, they can also pass me the letters directly. Thank you in advance parents. :)

That's it for today. Have a great day ahead! :)

ENGLISH

The boys were given learning sheets homework yesterday. I am trying to complete the whole learning sheet fast so that I can return it to them to study for AMODES in Week 5. The most important learning sheets that they need to study for Language AMODES on Wednesday (30/07) will be LS 9.1, LS 10.1 and LS 10.2. 

I will remind them again next week.

Today's homework will be from the Pupil Workbook 3 Part 2 - pages 1 to 6. They are to bring it back on Monday(21/07). 

On another note, it will be Racial Harmony Day next Monday. The boys are allowed to wear only ethnic costumes and not their normal shirts and jeans.

That's all for today! Have a great day! :)

Dear parents, 

I told the boys that I will be showing them a Youtube video of huge waves, which was related to yesterday's comprehension passage. It would be great if you can show them the video below. 




Thank you. :)
