Dear children,

Although we did not have much time together today, I'm glad we managed to move on to the third paragraph of our composition. Many of you are putting to use what you have learnt and writing very descriptive paragraphs. Great job! We'll continue to improve our writing skills next week.

Here's the ice-cream sticks update for this week. I've not included the scores from today's spelling yet.

Seashell is still leading! Will Seashell be the Group of April, or will another group do its best to surpass Seashell in the coming week? ;)

I just logged on to KooBits and was surprised to see that P2/2 JOY now has more than 4000 Challenge Points! 

We are now ahead of the second class in Singapore by more than 1100 points. I remember our class target last week was to be ahead by 1000 points. We have exceeded last week's target! ;) Great job, 2/2! With continuous effort and perseverance, I'm sure we will remain at the top of the leader board until 30 May when the competition ends.

I'm glad to also see that many of you have mastered more and more skills to move up the charts for the various Math Leagues.

Natalie, Isaac and Elijah are now in the Champions League while Zhi Zong, Janine, Luke, Christian and Jenna are in the Professional League.

This weekend, please focus on the AskNLearn quizzes and prepare for next Friday's math test on multiplication and division. I've posted Quiz 7, titled "P2/2 Math Practice Quiz 7 (Units 3 & 4)". Complete it before we meet on Monday.

Besides trying Quiz 7, I would also strongly encourage you to try Quiz 5 and Quiz 6 again and aim for full marks for both of them. Natalie took 4 tries to perfect her score for Quiz 6. That's a good example of continuous effort and perseverance.

Be very familiar with the kinds of questions asked and build your confidence. Then, you will not feel nervous during the test.

Remember to complete your Journal and submit on Monday too. 

Have an enjoyable long weekend with your family! :)
