Dear children,

Zane received his award this morning at the Sony Creative Science Award 2014 Award Presentation Ceremony. I'm sure those of you who went to support him together with Ms Soh and Mdm Tien applauded really loudly for him when he went on stage. Here's a video and some photographs to share with those of us who were not there:

 Mdm Tien told me the ten who went with her were very obedient and enthusiastic. She also used the word "motivated" to describe the ten, and I told her that is really how P2/2 JOY is like. I hope all of you can see Zane as a good example to follow. Join competitions. Give them a try. Whether or not you win, I'm sure the experience will be great for your learning! :)

As I watched your drama rehearsals today, I could see that you are improving. Ms Ana told me that she is satisfied with your performance so far, but I think we can do better than this. Here are three ways I think you can improve:

1) Big actions. Some of you are not bold enough with your actions. You are afraid to act. Don't be! Next lesson, watch carefully how Ms Ana does each action and follow her closely. If your role needs you to act angry, be very angry! If it requires you to sway your body, sway it fully! If your actions are not big enough, your audience cannot see anything from where they are sitting.

2) Projection. This is especially for those of you who have to say certain lines on your own and not with the group. Remember to project your voice. The audience need to hear clearly what you are saying. Then, the show will be a good one.

3) Memorise your lines. You need to know your lines perfectly well, because in two weeks' time, you will be standing on stage and performing without it! Download your script from here and memorise your lines at home before your next lesson with Ms Ana:

4) Practise your actions and lines in front of your mirror.

Here are today's reminders:

1) You would have received your Spelling Book today. Work on your corrections and update your contents page before showing it to your parent for a signature.

2) You should already have received the following math booklets:

-Mass Booklet A

-Length Booklet A

-Length Booklet B

If there are still corrections in them that you have not completed, complete them and submit them to me in the hall tomorrow. Show your booklets to your parent for signatures too. Bring back all three booklets for me to check tomorrow. You should take some time today or tomorrow morning to revise Mass Booklet A and Length Booklet A so that you are more prepared for Friday.

See you tomorrow! :)
