Dear children,

It was a pleasant day with you yesterday. We learnt about the 's and the s', and we learnt to make good sentences with the words "finally", "suddenly" and "immediately". We will be doing some story writing next week, so these words you learnt can be put to use! Do you remember when to use which? :) Share with your parents when they're free!

We also did a vocabulary cloze together. The helping words were not too difficult for us, but it seems like a few of you used one helping word more than once. Please pay attention to my instruction.

We had our first spelling test of the year yesterday too. After looking through some spelling books, I'm glad that many of you were able to spell the numbers correctly. Don't forget how to spell them or you won't be able to fill in cheques in future! ;)

We also revised what we learnt about 3-digit numbers and place values yesterday and did our corrections. At the start, quite a number of you were not able to give the correct answers to questions like "What is the value of the digit '2' in 126?"  I'm glad by the end of the lesson every single one of you could. Keep testing yourself. When you're free, think of 3-digit numbers and ask yourself what the value of each digit in that number is.

Here are the ice-cream stick scores for this week.

Sapphire is leading! From now on, I will post the updated ice-cream sticks chart once a week. The highest scoring group for each month will get some small prizes from me. :) Keep up the good behaviour and work hard!

Remember that there's a formal attire check on Monday. Please make sure that:
-Your name tag is properly sewn above the school crest on your uniform.
-Your white shoes and socks do not have branded logos (Nike, Adidas etc) on them.
-Your white socks are not too short. They must at least cover your ankles.

Boys, please also make sure that:
-Your hair does not cover the ears or touch the collar of your shirt. It must be neatly combed.
-You do not use too much gel or wax.
-Your fringe does not touch your eyebrows.
-Your hair is not dyed.

As for the girls, please make sure that:
-Your skirt is not too short. It should be at least 4 fingers above your knees.
-Your hair is neat and tidy and not covering your face. If you have long hair, tie it up.
-Your fringe does not touch your eyebrows. If you have a long fringe, pin it up with plain black pins.
-Your hair accessories, if any, are in dark navy blue or black.
-Your hair is not dyed.
-If you wear ear studs, they are small.

Please ask your parents to check your attire before you turn up for school on Monday.

Have a great weekend with your family! :)
