English Amode: Poem-Reading (Assessment Criteria)

Dear Parents,

These are what I will be looking out for in the boys' poem-reading (this is the criteria to achieve the maximum possible number of marks):

Preparedness

Pupil is completely prepared & has obviously rehearsed.

Pitch

Pitch is often used & it conveys emotions appropriately.

Pauses

Pauses are effectively used 2 or more times to improve meaning and/or dramatic impact.

Speaks Clearly

Speaks clearly & distinctly all (95% - 100%) the time, & mispronounces 1 - 2 words.

Volume

Loud enough to be heard by audience throughout the presentation.

I hope this information would be helpful in your revision with your child.

English Amode: Poem-Reading

Dear Parents,

For the benefit of those who are ill at home, I will post the poem here so that you can practise at home as well.

Don't Ever Ask a Centipede

Don't ever ask a centipede

to play a game of soccer.

Remember, he has 50 pairs

of sneakers in his locker.

He dribbles 50 soccer balls

with 50 pairs of shoes,

and kicks them all concurrently.

He doesn't often lose.

He's such a fierce competitor

that, if you ever meet,

at first you'll see his hundred legs

and then you'll see defeat.

--By Kenn Nesbitt

17 January 2011 (Monday)

Dear Parents,

English

• Complete Spelling corrections and sign. Submit tomorrow.
• Amode Poem Reading Sheet (Poem: Don't Ever Ask a Centipede) was issued today. Please ignore the year printed on the paper (it should be 2011 not 2010). The boys have practised reading the poem with me today. Please remind your child to practise this poem at home as they will be tested this Friday, 21 January.

That's all, thank you.

Miss Joyce Tan

Dear Parents,

Maths

Parents, it might sound a little confusing to you but your child would know what I'm talking about ;)

Miss Tan Needs Parent Volunteers for Literacy Block Programme

Dear Parents,

Last year, our reading programme was very successful due to 5 wonderful mothers who came to school every week (for the whole year) to read to our boys. Thank you very much Noah's mummy, Cedric's mummy, Le Bin's mummy, Andre's mummy and Brenon's mummy!

This year, we will be starting the same programme soon (once we are allocated the storybooks) and I need the help of parents to read to our boys. The 5 mothers mentioned above, if you are free to help out, please drop me a text message! Parents who wish to help our boys improve their reading, please do text me as well!

The slot that I will reserve for reading is every Thursday, 7.35am to 8.05am. Please help out if you can! Thank you!

Regards,

Miss Tan

Miss Tan is Worried...

Dear Parents,

I am aware that recently there seems to be a flu bug and "fever virus" going around. Many boys (including myself) have suffered at the hands of this nasty monster and we're all falling sick. Miss Tan is in panic mode now because boys in our class are falling sick one after another. Boys, please take very good care of yourself!

In an effort to contain the spread of this infectious flu bug, let's be responsible and stay at home if we are not feeling well. Rest at home until you have fully recovered before you return to school. I have also informed the boys that all of us should have a small hand sanitizer or a packet of wet wipes in our bags at all times so that we can clean our hands readily (after games or when we sneeze into our hands). Do include these items when you are helping your child to pack his school bag.

Hopefully I will get to see all my 28 lovely angels together again...

Love,

Miss Tan

Dear Parents,

My apologies for putting up a post only at this time. I have been down with fever the past two days and my temperature went up to 39.8 degrees. Therefore, I was unable to go to school today. But rest assure that your child did not waste his time in school today. The class would have been instructed to complete certain pages of their Maths 2A Part 1 workbook (based on concepts that I have taught last Friday). I will be back tomorrow and lessons will resume. Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome Back!

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to a new school year! I hope both you and your child have had a well-rested holiday as this year will progress at a much faster pace as compared to last year (because our precious ones are no longer in P1). Last year was considered a "honeymoon period" for them as they were new to the primary school system. But after having gone through a year of training, the boys are now expected to know very clearly what they should and should not do in school.

As they are now in P2, I would be focusing on strengthening their foundation so that they would be ready to take on more challenges in P3. I will be stricter with the boys this year so that they would learn to be more serious about their work and also to help them put in their best effort in the year-end exams.

In order to attain my goal of helping your child to reach his fullest potential in school, I need your assistance to constantly remind your child of the good behaviours that are expected in school. When the boys are focused and alert, they would then be able to learn as much as possible in school.

Now, for some housekeeping matters. Please submit the following on Friday:

• Travel Declaration Form
• Individual Student's Particulars Form (Any changes are to be made in blue/red ink)
• $10 for the purchase of ATM book (I will help you buy the book)
• All subject files
• Health Booklet
• All 2A workbooks/ activity books
• 3 single-lined exercise books

That's all for now. Do remember to check the blog daily for the latest updates!

Regards,

Miss Joyce Tan
