21 Apr 14 (Monday)

Dear children,

You would have received your Spelling Book this afternoon. Here are the seven Super Spellers for last Thursday's spelling:

Christian from Lego

Ashley, Zane and Joel from iPad

Zhi Zong and Luke from Disney

Jenna from Seashell

As usual, please work on your corrections if you have any and update your contents page before showing it to your parents for a signature. Your next spelling will be on this Friday. Make sure you prepare well! 

This time round, I will be awarding 2 ice-cream sticks to each Super Speller and 2 ice-cream sticks to each Super Improver -- those who improve from the previous spelling by 3 marks or more. That means if you improve by 3 marks or more to achieve 15 marks, you will earn 4 ice-cream sticks for your group. Does that sound good? Let's encourage everyone to improve! :)

We had a note-taking practice today to prepare ourselves for the upcoming Listening Comprehension test. I hope you have a clearer idea now what note-taking is all about. 

During FTGP, we looked at different facial expressions and realised how being angry makes us look. We discussed how anger, if not managed properly, can be very bad for our relationships with others. We'll talk more about managing anger next week.

We moved on to drawing models for division word problems. I'm glad that most of you are learning this very well.

Here are today's reminders:

1) Please pass the letter from the Traffic Police to your parents.

2) Consider joining the Sony Creative Science Award 2014 Toy Making Competition. Many of you have curious minds and lots of creative potential, so make good use of what you have! It's not difficult to win something in the P1/P2 category. I hope P2/2 can have many winners this year! :) Give it a try!

Prizes will be given for the following:

• Classes with the highest number of toy submissions (per level)
• Toys selected by the school's judging panel (School Award)
• Top three most 'Liked' toys on AsknLearn
• Top three most constructive comments on AsknLearn

3) This week's art lesson will be shifted to Friday instead, so you do not need to bring any art materials tomorrow.

Have an enjoyable evening with your family. See you tomorrow! :)
