24 July 14 (Thursday)

Dear children,

As we worked on more word problems on the topic of mass today, it became clear to me that many of you have really forgotten about the part-whole and comparison models we learnt before the June holidays. We took quite some time getting you back on track. Please refer to your Unit 3 booklets again when you have time this weekend.

I looked through the paragraph of composition that you wrote today. Some of you included a very rich description of the story setting, while others used direct speech at the start to draw your audience into the story. I'm beginning to see better writing from you. Keep it up! :)

Here are the reminders for today:

1) Prepare your Spelling Book so that we can start our spelling once we settle down in the classroom tomorrow. Let's see which group will earn the most ice-cream sticks for spelling this time round! :)

2) You will be participating in the Math Performance Task tomorrow from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.. Your scores for it will contribute to your math score for the year. Take some time today and tomorrow morning to revise Mass Booklet A and Length Booklet A again so that you are more prepared for it. Practise reading different weighing scales. Practise drawing and measuring straight lines of different lengths. Read length measurements that use rulers beginning from 0 cm and those that do not begin from 0 cm. Make sure you are very, very good at everything in both booklets.

3) Submit your artwork by tomorrow.

See you tomorrow! :)
