Term 1 Week 6 Updates

Dear Parents,

My apologies to you - I just realised that the week 6 updates post was not posted on the blog.

Week 6 Updates:-

1) I had given your child a slip of paper with the heading "Poem Recitation" last Friday, 10 February 2012. This is a practice for your child to recite a poem in front of the whole class. They should memorise the short poem so that their delivery will be smooth. Your child will present it in front of the whole class during week 8. They should also present it in this way:-

Dear Classmates,
I am going to share a poem titled "Teddy Bear" with all of you. Hope you enjoy it:-
Teddy bear with big red bows
Oh so precious! Love him so!
Snuggle up here in my bed.
Sugar kisses on his head.

In my assessment, I will be looking out for the following:-
1) projection of voice
2) Fluency and intonation
3) Body language

This is not a weighted assessment ie, it does not account any percentage for the calculation of marks in the report book. But pupils must take this recitation seriously so that they are prepared for any show and tell sessions.

2) Zoo learning journey trip will be updated in a separate post.

3) English
We have just started on "Walking through the jungle". The grammar components that they are learning are:-
a) pronouns - use of "it" and "me"
b) Prepositions - use of "in", "out", "on", "up" and "around".
c) Singular and plural nouns - eg, cake, cakes
d) Countable Nouns  

4) Mathematics
We are in the midst of addition using number bonds.
