30 Apr 14 (Wednesday)

Dear children,

Although I could not let you have your Math Test papers back today, I'm pleased to announce the fantastic achievements that 2/2 has made for this test:

27 out of 32 children
achieved Band 1
(26 marks and above)

• 13 children achieved the perfect score of 30/30
• 6 children scored 29/30
• 4 children scored 28/30
• 1 child scored 27/30
• 3 children scored 26/30

10 of you made significant improvements of at least 5 marks from the Practice Test. That's awesome and I'm very proud of your effort! :)

One girl in particular improved by 15 marks from her Practice Test to achieve the perfect score of 30/30! Another two boys also made huge improvements of 14 marks and 13 marks. This is what putting in hard work can help us achieve!

Our next target is to conquer the English Test next Monday. Will you put in your best again? ;)

You would have received your English Practice Test paper today and realised that we did not do very well this time round. My target for each and every one of you was 38.5 marks, but unfortunately, only 7 of you achieved that. Please look carefully at your paper and see where you went wrong. Most of you made many mistakes in the section on editing. When you come back on Friday, we will do an editing exercise to help you get better at that.

I trust that you will put in your best to prepare for the actual test over the next 4 days. My offer of a pizza party still stands. ;)

Here are today's reminders:

1) Please remember to prepare for Friday's spelling. The words to be tested can be found on Page 3 of your Spelling List. The first word is "spade". Please ignore the error in the date. We are having the spelling on 2 May (Friday), not 5 May. Prepare your Spelling Book so that we can start immediately on Friday.

2) For the art lessons on Friday, please bring along a 2B pencil, a box of colour pencils and a box of crayons.

3) Show your English Practice Test paper to your parents and ask for a signature. Bring it back on Friday.

4) Check AskNLearn tomorrow (Thursday) after 2 p.m. for some English online practice tasks. 

Have a fruitful and enjoyable holiday with your family! :)
