Dear children,

I'm sure you had a lot of fun during the PE periods before recess. Many of you won prizes from the games you played at the pavilion. I hope you thanked the P5 children for organising those game stalls for you. They had put in a lot of hard work and effort just to make it enjoyable for you.

It was a pleasure seeing you learn to create pictures on the computer using some basic shapes during Mr Edwin's lesson. Spend some time at home practising that if you have Microsoft PowerPoint installed on your home computer. Mr Edwin said that you would be doing that again next Tuesday. I'm looking forward to seeing your masterpieces! :)

We started math lesson today by recognising those children who handed in perfect booklets for Unit 1. These are:

Luke from Emerald,
Christian, Natalie and Zane from Ninja-Fairy,
Risa from Avengers,
David from Frozen,
Zhi Zong from Rainbow.

They each earned 5 ice-cream sticks for their own group. It seems like Ninja-Fairy is leading after today's addition. Which group will earn the Group of the Month prize? We will know on Thursday! :)

We began on Unit 2 for math today and completed an activity. "Addition and Subtraction within 1000" will be a very easy topic for you if you focus, put in effort, and be very careful. Your homework for today is to play the game "Math Man - Addition up to 100":

Here are some reminders:
1) The vendors selling the National Geographic Explorer magazine will be in school tomorrow. If you want to subscribe to the magazine, please fill in the subscription form and bring it along tomorrow. If you are paying by Edusave, remember to bring the Edusave Form too. Pass the form(s) to the vendors directly.
2) Hand up your Spelling Book tomorrow if you did not hand it up today.
