17 September 14 (Wednesday)

Dear children,


I hope you enjoyed our "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: P1-P2 Math Challenge" in the hall today. You should have been able to answer all the questions correctly. I have uploaded the question slides on Dropbox. Click on this Dropbox link to look at them again and try the last 2 questions which we did not have time to complete: 




We read "The Fisherman and His Wife" together today and discussed the rhyming words in the book. We also learnt that we should not be greedy like the fisherman's wife, who kept asking for more and more and was never satisfied. In the end, the two of them lost even the reward that they first got.

We also talked about the meanings of some vocabulary used in the book, such as "riches", "greed", "mansion", "request", "throne", "palace", "stitch", "emperor", "jewels" and "thundered". Then, we went through two vocabulary cloze passages so that you know how to use those words correctly.

You took a Moral Education test on loyalty too. I'm looking forward to marking your papers to see what you've learnt about loyalty in Term 3. :)

These are today's reminders:

1) If there are corrections or re-corrections that you have to work on in your Volume Part A booklet, complete them. Show your booklet to your parent and ask for a signature. Bring it back tomorrow for me to mark and check.

2) Check through your red Composition File. If there are re-corrections for your compositions in Term 3 that have not been submitted for marking, submit them tomorrow. I am still waiting for a few of you.

Have a restful evening. See you tomorrow! :)

  1. Mr Wong, I realised there was a mistake in the game "Who Wants to be a Millionaire".
    It was the shapes question for the Primary ones. The correct answer is supposed to be 6 but you put 5 (probably because of the two triangles stuck together below is supposed to be 3 in all).

    1. Hi Seth, if you look closely at the diagram, you will see that the two triangles at the bottom do not make up one big triangle. They are stuck together, but one is bigger than the other. That means there's no mistake in the answer for this question. You would have been right if the two triangles at the bottom were of the same size and together, make up one big triangle. :)
