Dear children,

I wish more of you scored full marks for this round of spelling. We only have 4 Super Spellers this time:

Jenna from Diamond

Natalie from Ninja-Fairy

Elijah from Sapphire

Raeann from Emerald

9 of you scored 14 and a half marks. That's quite near, but still not there yet. Work hard, and be very careful when spelling words.

We talked about the life of Kelvin Loh today before you continued with your compositions from Friday. Most of you were able to complete the compositions before we moved on to reading our new big book, "Chicken Rice". If you did not manage to complete your composition in time, please work on it at home and submit it tomorrow.

Thanks to some of your generous parents, we had newly bought mats to sit on for our big book reading session today! Those mats were donated by Amelie's mummy, Zane's mummy, Ashley's mummy and David's mummy because they wanted you to have a more comfortable classroom to learn in. When you meet these mummies in school, be sure to thank them for the mats!

Here are the winners of the math games you played last week:

*Balloon Pop: Zane (188504 points)

*Fruit Shoot Odd & Even Level 1: Richelle (22 points)

*Fruit Shoot Odd & Even Level 2: Jenna (54 points)

*Fruit Shoot Odd & Even Level 3: Luke (104 points)

*Monkey Drive: Natalie (616 points)

I am sure these winners tried many times before getting such high scores. Determination and effort will make you better and better! These winners will be getting a small prize from me tomorrow. Congratulations! :)

Here are some reminders for today:

1) Work on your corrections in your spelling book and update the contents page. Show your spelling book to your parents for them to sign.

2) Pass the "Hong Bao Collection" letter to your parents. Think about whether you want to help the needy.

3) If you have not submitted your Social Studies Activity Book today, please submit it tomorrow. Mrs Jamal wants it.

4) For this week, the 2 PE periods on Wednesday will be exchanged with the 2 art periods tomorrow. That means you will have 3 periods of PE tomorrow (2 periods before recess and one period at the end of the day). There will be no PE on Wednesday. We'll have art lesson during the last 2 periods on Wednesday.

5) Thaneeisha and Phoebe, please remember to prepare for your make-up spelling test on Wednesday since you did not take the spelling test last Friday. There's still a chance to earn ice-cream sticks for your group! :)

Have a blessed evening with your family! :)
