Newsflash for this week

Chinese New Year Class Decoration Contest
I guess everyone will be busy this week with Chinese New Year preparations for the home, including me. I've only bought a tin of Pineapple Tarts at Toa Payoh Hub last night. The school is also busy decorating for the Chinese New Year Class Decoration Contest, which will be judged this week. I wish to thank those pupils who have contributed Chinese New Year decorations and artwork : Newton, Victoria, Han Sheng, Claudia and Jacob.


Maths
We are finishing the topic on Addition and Subtraction Within 10000 this week. The pupils are getting better and better at solving two-step problem sums! We have class competitions where a member from each group will answer a problem sum on the board and score "ice cream sticks" for the group. Sticks are awarded for showing the right model, mathematical statements and answers. After that, the pupils will do the same problems in their exercise books as reinforcement.
Sometime on Wednesday or Thursday, I'd be carrying out a Maths Test on this unit from the Maths Test Book.

Science
Fron this week to week 8 (end of February) We are covering Unit 2 : Animals. Pupils need to know about the characteristics of Mammals, Birds, Fish and insects and how to classify animals into these groups.

Group Competition
The class is divided into five groups and each day they can win points in the form of 'ice cream sticks' for good behaviour and participation in class. The points will add up on the notice board. The group with the highest points at the end of the term will get to have a mini recess party with me! Any group higher than 200 points will also get a goodie bag.

Neat Work Awards
We would like to congratulate the first pupil to get 10 neat work stamps - Chiau Choon Wee!
