Week 9 : Mar 1 - Mar 5

First I'd like to extend my appreciation to the parents of Jenal, Jerrine and Claudia for helping out as parent volunteers. Thank you very much for your help! It was certainly an enriching week for the pupils as they went out to the zoo, health zone and Singapore Discovery Centre to explore and learn.

For these two weeks, we'd be having the formative assessments for Maths, Science and English. For preparation, it is sufficient to just do the revision of the topics learnt so far, as the formative assessments will also test the children's creativity and problem solving skills, hence it will not follow the usual examination style of testing. For Maths assessment, the children are only tested on addition and subtraction up to 4 digit numbers. Please also note that the Science assessment, which will be next week, is on Chapter 1 : Living and Non Living things.

For Science lessons this week, I will be covering the characteristics of birds, fishes and insects. (They will not be tested in the formative assessment)

For Maths lessons this week, I will be covering long division (TB Pg 87-96) I noticed that the pupils are quite weak at division so my recommendation is to give them more division activities at home using real materials such as seeds or buttons.
