Dear children,

I hope you had some fun learning about the Malay culture during our Learning Journey at Tampines West Community Centre this morning. Here are some photographs taken by your parents who came along.

There are a few videos and some more pictures which will take some time to upload. I will share them tomorrow.

During English lesson today, we went through the Listening Comprehension Practice Test you did last week before trying another Practice Test. We also read our final Big Book for this year - "The Growl".

You did some independent revision during math lesson and worked on some past AskNLearn quizzes and KooBits practices. As always, I am sure you enjoyed your computer time. ;)

These are the announcements and reminders for today:

1) Show your parents your Listening Comprehension Practice Test paper. Ask for a signature. Bring it back tomorrow for me to check.

2) There will be no art lesson tomorrow. Your Math Practice Examination tomorrow will be held from 3 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.. You will have an early recess at 2.15 p.m.. I hope you will give your best for this Practice Examination. I look forward to awarding 9 or 10 ice-cream sticks to you! :)

3) In case you have forgotten about it, your next spelling is on this Wednesday. Like for the previous spelling, I will be awarding 3 ice-cream sticks to each Super Speller and 4 bonus ice-cream sticks to a group which has 4 Super Spellers. Work hard! :)

4) In November, our school's Boys' Brigade Company will be distributing donated items to some less fortunate citizens living in the Kampong Glam area. This is a chance for us to care for the poor in Singapore. They are asking for the following items:

-Cup noodles

-Instant noodles

-Packs of beverage sachets (e.g. cereals, tea, coffee, milo, etc.)

-Small boxes of detergent

-Canned lettuce or peanuts

-Japanese plaster (e.g. Salonpas)

-Small tins of sardines

-Bath soap

-Biscuits (No cream crackers, please)

-Face towels

If you and your family would like to show care for the poor in this way, simply bring one or more of the above items to school from now till end October. I will show you where to place them.

5) Do you remember the seeds which were given out as prizes to a few of you in May? Jonathan's seeds have grown well for the past 5 months and germinated into a young plant! Here are two pictures of him and his plant:

If your seeds have grown too, send me a picture so I can share with the class.

I am sure you are exhausted after a whole day of fun-filled learning. Have a restful evening with your family. See you tomorrow! :)
