Happy Children's Day

Dear P1 Kindness boys,

Before you came into my life, I wondered if teaching was the right career for me. I started to doubt myself and I wonder if there is something more to teaching. After you (all 28 of you) came into my life, you (every single one of you) have helped me fully understand the true meaning of teaching.

All you little ones have unknowingly helped me re-ignite my passion for teaching (since the first day I met all of you) and you have unknowingly taught me how to be a better teacher. Through you, I love my career even more and because of you, my life has become more meaningful.

I am very proud to be your teacher because all of you are such excellent pupils!

You would have received the Spiderman homework file and the Ben10 notebook from me today. These are not expensive gifts but they would be very useful to you. I hope you would like it and remember to use it! (Boys who always copy your homework on scraps of paper, don't tell me that you don't have a notebook ok? You can use the cool Ben10 notebook now!)

These are things which I wanted to tell you in class but before I could elaborate, the bell has rung. :(

We are celebrating Children's Day tomorrow. Have lots of fun and enjoy yourself in school tomorrow!

Lastly, I would like to say: I thank God for sending all 28 of you to me and thank you boys, for being a part of my life. Happy Children's Day!

Love,

Miss Joyce Tan

Important Information for Maths SA2 Exam

Dear Parents,

Please note that concepts which the boys have learnt through their ELP worksheets (in Term 3) may be tested in SA2 as well. Please make sure that you revise ALL ELP worksheets with your child before the exam. The boys must know how to recognise number patterns and make use of the pattern to find out the answers. Please don't hesitate to call me should you require further clarifications. Thank you.

Regards,

Miss Joyce Tan

Dear Parents,

Dates for Term 4 Spelling

Dear Parents,

Here are the test dates for the English spelling (Term 4)

Unit 19: 21 September (Tue)

Unit 20: 28 September (Tue)

Unit 21: 5 Oct (Tue)

You may also refer to your child's spelling list as they would have copied these dates in class.

Clarifications

Dear Parents,

The 30-word spelling which I will be carrying out tomorrow is not the real SA2 spelling test. The test which will be carried out tomorrow is for me to make sure that the boys have learnt the words and for them to find out the words that they still have problem with. (They were instructed to learn the 30 words over the Sept hols.)

Please note that out of these 30 words, 10 will appear in the SA2 Listening Comprehension paper (Paper 3). These words will not be tested in the form of our weekly spelling tests. Please refer to SA1 Listening Comprehension paper (last section) to refresh your memory on how these words will be tested.

Parents, please do not hesitate to call me if you still have any doubts regarding this matter. Thank you.

Regards,

Miss Joyce Tan

Teach Me To Fish Programme

Dear Parents,

We have just recently conducted the "Teach Me To Fish" programme with the help of parent volunteers from our class. This programme aims to teach pupils skills which they can use for life. Different levels will learn different skills according to their age group. For our lovely P1 boys, they learnt how to tie shoe laces and button their shirts on their own, how to spread butter and jam the right way as well as basic manners such as saying "please" and "thank you".

Here are some pictures:
