Dear children,

We read Magnetic Max today and discussed more examples of the past tense of some regular and irregular verbs. We also talked about the differences between common nouns and proper nouns, and learnt to use the words "a", "the", "this", "that" and "no" correctly in sentences.

I'll be attending a course tomorrow and will only see you when I'm back at 5 p.m.. There will be relief teachers going into the class before 5 p.m..

The Math Test will be held right after recess at 3.30 p.m.. Please do not play at the field or basketball court during recess. You need a clear mind - not a perspiring body - to help you do your best. Joel and Natalie will help me to remind you about that tomorrow.

Joel and Natalie, please note down the class schedule for tomorrow in your handbook. I will need your help to remind the relief teachers about these:

1.25 p.m. to 1.45 p.m.: Spelling/Dictation.

1.45 p.m. to 2.15 p.m.: Write a journal entry and submit your journal. The title is "What a friend should not do". In your entry, write about an unpleasant encounter with a friend. Describe what happened and how you felt when your friend behaved in a negative way or did something unpleasant to you. Explain what you learnt from the encounter. If you like, you could start your writing with "I once felt sad when…".

2.15 p.m. to 2.30 p.m.: Work on corrections for blue Math booklets (The relief teacher will show you my solutions for Pages 15, 16 and 17). 

2.30 p.m. to 3 p.m.: Complete the remaining questions in the green Math booklet on your own. If you have time remaining after you complete that, use it to do your own revision for the Math test. 

We will have our art lesson when I'm back at 5 p.m..

Here are today's reminders:

1) Bring your spelling book tomorrow for spelling.

2) If you received your blue Unit 6 Math booklet from me today, please show it to your parents and ask for a signature.

3) Bring a 2B pencil, a box of colour pencils and a black marker tomorrow for art.

4) Bring the Social Studies work Mrs Jamal gave you today to submit tomorrow.

5) The re-spelling for the 3 pupils will be moved to Monday's recess instead so that all of you can focus on preparing for the Math Test.

See you tomorrow! :)
