24 Mar 14 (Monday)

Dear children,

We started off the day with the Moral Education test on responsibility. I'm looking forward to marking your papers to see what you've learnt about responsibility in Term 1. :)

We also had our Ultimate Multiplication Challenge today, with each of you being tested by your challenger on the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 times tables. Most of you are already almost perfect at your times tables, but there are 7 of you who really need to work much harder. You know who you are. Knowing how to multiply is very, very important for the next topic of division. If you don't know your multiplication facts, you will not be able to divide! Grasp every chance you have to memorise all of them!

We'll be completing our last exercise in multiplication tomorrow, after which we will start on the topic of division.

Here's the number of ice-cream sticks each group earned today:

Emerald: 10
Avengers: 16
Frozen: 12
Sapphire: 13
Ninja-Fairy: 8
Gold: 14
Diamond: 14
Rainbow: 6

We also explored a little of KooBits today and discovered that many children have already started learning math skills and earning Challenge Points in the various leagues.

Our Isaac is the Hero of the Day!

Beginners League: I see Wei Xiang and David's names.

 

Novice League: Dawn is here!

Top Brain: Isaac is the second here!

2/2 is now the first on the P2 Champion Class Leader Board! 

Keep it up, children! We began well, but will we be first all the way till 30 May? That takes everyone's effort! ;)

I will show you more features of KooBits tomorrow during your computer lesson with Mr Edwin. In the meantime, you can continue to explore it on your own.

Here are the reminders for today:

1) If you have not submitted your journal or your I-Read Book Review worksheet, please do so tomorrow.

2) Remember to bring your I-Read book tomorrow for the exchange.

3) Show your parents your Unit 4 blue booklet and green booklet and ask for a signature. If you still have corrections that are incomplete, please complete them and submit tomorrow.

4) If you still have your re-corrections in your Unit 3 blue, green and yellow booklets, please complete them and submit tomorrow for marking.

5) For art lesson tomorrow, bring the following:
-One piece of drawing paper
-Tubes of red, blue and yellow poster paint (if you have them)
-Enough newspapers to lay on your desk
-An apron, if you have one, to keep paint off your PE attire

Have a restful evening with your family! :)
