Dear children,

During art lesson today, you learnt to sketch and shade an egg with a pencil using 9 different shading techniques. We discussed how the direction of the light shining on the egg would affect how close our pencil lines and dots have to be. We also talked about how the different shading techniques created different textures for each egg. Some of you have not done a lot of shading before, so you were complaining that shading was tiring for your hands while others enjoyed themselves trying out the different shading techniques. I am glad all of you persevered and completed your artwork whether you enjoyed shading or not. Some of you even produced impressive artwork! :)

During your computer lesson with Mr Edwin, most of you finished up your hybrid creature illustrations from last term. 

If you are one of the five children who have not completed your hybrid creature and uploaded it onto AskNLearn, please do so at home by Saturday night. I can't wait to put together our class e-book! :)

During math lesson, you cut out different 2D shapes and created your own "shape monster". Then, you traced the outline of your "shape monster" and listed the shapes that made up the monster by observing its outline. This simple activity should have helped you to pick up the skill of guessing the shapes that make up a figure just by looking at the figure's outline.

These are today's reminders and announcements:

1) Pass to your parents the note regarding your arrival time for the period when the PSLE is being conducted. On those days, you should arrive after 12.15 p.m. and be in the hall before 12.30 p.m..

2) The Administrative Information for October has been sent out via SNAC and uploaded onto the school website. Inform your parents so that they will read it.

3) Continue to bring your scissors and glue tomorrow.

4) You would have received your Volume Part B and Volume Part C booklets. If all your corrections in those two booklets have been marked and your parent's signatures have been checked by me, you may keep those booklets at home for revision. Otherwise, bring it back to me tomorrow. 

5) Please start revising for your examinations if you have not. In case you have forgotten, these are your examination dates:

-9 October (Week 4, Thursday): Listening Comprehension (English Language & Mother Tongue)

-20 October (Week 6, Monday): English Language

-24 October (Week 6, Friday): Mathematics

-27 October (Week 7, Monday): Mother Tongue

We will be working on a Listening Comprehension practice this week and a Math Exam Practice Paper next week. You should start revising your math topics. Some of you have forgotten your times tables and cannot do multiplication and division questions anymore. Start perfecting your times tables again! 

We have done very well as a class for the past 9 months, and we will not stop doing well until we have given our very best till the very end. Work hard, 2/2!

Have a restful evening. See you tomorrow! :)
