I did not assign the pupils any homework this weekend, not even the journals for fear that they'd forget to bring it on Wednesday, the same day I'd have to return it to them for their holiday entry.

Have a jolly long weekend! :)

All things pertaining to English.

Dear Parents,

I feel privileged for having the opportunity to speak with some of you over the past few days and am humbled by your support. I noticed that you are very pleased with the supplementary notes, bearing in mind the boys never had any to refer to beforehand. While this might sound potentially blasphemous due to the nature of my job, when I was a student myself, I remember forgetting what my teachers taught me after a couple of days. This was mainly why I decided the boys should have something to refer to, to assist them in their revision.

As such, I will be coming up with grammar notes for every upcoming unit to correspond with what is being covered in the learning sheets. However, as I am still unsure which areas of grammar your son might need further assistance in, especially for those that have been covered in the first half of the year, I would like to urge you to email me (nurul_ain_mohamad_ibrahim@moe.edu.sg) and share your ideas or concerns. For example, if your son needs some guidance with prepositions, do not hesitate to tell me. I will try my best to break down the concepts for him into bite sizes and create a trusty guide for the class.

Help me help your son in mastering the English Language. Hope to hear from you soon!

Best regards,

Miss Nurul

English. 5th August 2011.

Dear Parents,

I have assigned the pupils learning sheets 14.1 (cloze passage), 14.10 (MCQ comprehension) and 14.11 (open-ended comprehension) as classwork.

14.5 is to be done as homework. Kindly assist your child in completing the worksheet on the activities carried out on different days of the week. If possible, have no repetitions. They also have a journal entry to complete over the long weekend.

Everything is to be handed in on Thursday, the same day we will be having spelling.

Thank you so much for your help and understanding!

Sincerely,

Miss Nurul

Dear Parents,

I'm sure you would have heard the news by now that the Presidential Elections will be held on Saturday, 27th August 2011 and consequently, the following Monday, 29th August will be a holiday in lieu. As such, we will be looking at a hectic few weeks ahead (possibly only about 11 days of lessons over 4 weeks) with 2 more units to complete for English amidst all those holidays. Hang on tight for the ride!

To keep you in the loop, I will be away from school tomorrow as I am involved in the school musical. Rest assured that the boys will be given some tasks to complete.

Also, there is an AMODES test on comprehension scheduled for next Thursday. I am pleased to inform you that it has been postponed to Friday. This will give me more time to review certain things with them when school resumes next week. Meanwhile, the weekly spelling test will be carried out on Thursday, 11th August.

Today, we learnt about quantifiers (eg. all, whole, much, many & lots) and contractions. The boys have been assigned two activities as homework.

1. Learning sheet 14.3

2. Comprehension book pages 120-122

On a separate note altogether, I would like to thank you for your compliments and encouragement pertaining to the supplementary sheets I created for your son :) You might have noticed that the sheets are numbered 13.2, 13.4, 13.7 and 13.8 - instead of 13.1, 13.2, etc. This is to correspond to the learning sheets given earlier, in order to aid the revision process. Hope it helps!

Best regards,
