Dear children,

We had some fun today using a measuring tape to measure the lengths of our waists in centimetres. You also learnt to draw and measure straight lines of different lengths with a ruler and a pencil. 

To help you revise what you've learnt about mass, we read some scales together and counted in steps of 5 g and 10 g. After having a feel of how heavy 1 g and 1 kg are, we also estimated the mass of some items such as 5 pencils, 50 ice-cream sticks and a bag of marbles. We then measured more objects with different weighing scales. I hope that was good revision for you.

We'll be measuring more lengths tomorrow. That will include the lengths of curve lines, and we will need some strings to do that. Please bring along 2 strings to class tomorrow. Each of them should be at least 25 cm long. 

Here are today's reminders:

1) Some of you need to work on your behaviour in class. You know who you are. Following instructions is important.

2) There is spelling tomorrow. Remember to prepare your Spelling Book so that we can start immediately. Your corrections for the previous spelling should have been completed, and you should have asked your parent for a signature. Don't forget to update your contents page too.

Have a good evening with your family. See you tomorrow.
