Dear children,

As promised, here is the number of ice-cream sticks earned by each group so far.

The top scoring group for each day and the top scoring group so far have their scores in red. As of now, Sapphire is leading! Keep up the good behaviour, Sapphire! The rest of the groups are not far behind too. We'll see which group gets the most ice-cream sticks by the end of the week! ;)

I was upset today that a few of you did not follow my instructions and did not bring your Bubble Trouble booklet today. It is important that you bring what you're told to, otherwise you'll miss out on what the rest learn and do in class. Please remember this.

We managed to do quite a bit for English today. We learnt about singular and plural nouns (such as glass and glasses), the past tense for regular and irregular verbs (such as worked and swept), and comparative adjectives (such as lighter and prettier). I know all of you really enjoyed the part on comparative adjectives when we were comparing who's taller, darker and heavier. The groups that paid attention and could answer my questions were rewarded with ice-cream sticks! Always pay attention. You never know when you can earn ice-cream sticks for your group! :)

We managed to complete 2 math activities today too! Most of you have shown me that you were able to read and write 3-digit numbers and talk about these numbers in terms of place values. You were also able to show me the 3-digit numbers using the base-ten sets. That's great! Want to be sure that you remember what you have learnt? Get your parents to test you with the following questions:

1) In the number 756, how many hundreds, tens and ones are there?
Spell the number.

2) In the number 209,
-how many hundreds, tens and ones are there?
-what is the value of the digit '0'?
Spell the number.

3) In the number 940,
-how many hundreds, tens and ones are there?
-what is the value of the digit '0'?
Spell the number.

If you can answer your parents correctly, then you're all ready for tomorrow's math lesson!

Please be reminded of the following:
1) Remember to prepare for your spelling tomorrow.
2) There will be an attire check tomorrow as well as on Monday. Please make sure that you look neat and tidy. If you're not sure of the rules, refer to your Student Handbook.
3) CCA application forms must be submitted by tomorrow. If your forms are submitted after tomorrow, they will not be accepted.
4) If you have not submitted your Information Updating form and your student profile, please submit them tomorrow too.

Have an awesome evening with your family! :)
