Learning Journey to Kids Kampong!

Dear all,

We had our 2nd Learning Journey to Kids Kampong on Tuesday, 25th April. It was soooooooooo much fun for the children, parents and myself! I guess you would have already known that as I'm sure the children would be gushing about their wonderful experiences on that day, especially the fish they have caught! I have to commend them on their behaviour that day. Not one child complained about getting wet even though it was drizzling as they were fishing. The children shared with their friends and cooperated with the facilitators during the various activities too. It was definitely a journey filled with hands-on learning and camaraderie. *smiles*

I'll like to extend my thanks to Sujtha [Mother of Vignesh], Mrs Tan [Mother of Darren] and Jovyn's helper in helping me throughout the entire learning journey. I appreciate all the assistance =)

There were 3 main segments of the Kids Kampong programme, namely
'Pets Corner' [Petting/ Looking at animals], 'Fishing', and 'Feeding'.

Click here to enjoy the photos that I've taken on that
day!

Jump for Joy & Teck Hong's Birthday!

Hi all,

The children will be participating in 'Jump for Joy' Day on ACES (All Children Exercise Simultaneously) Day. This skipping event would be held on Wednesday, 30 August. As such, all pupils are required to have their own skipping rope so that they can practice skipping during PE lessons as well as for the event. Pupils who do not have their own skipping ropes can place their orders with me.
Each skipping rope costs $1.20.


We ended the school week happily with the celebration of Teck Hong's Birthday.
Happy Birthday to you, Teck Hong! We celebrated his birthday yesterday in the canteen with a cake, goodie bags and lots of fun. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Tay who gave the children such wonderful treats and a great time! ;) Click here for photos!

Buying of Class Photos

Hi all,

The class photos taken on 31st March are out and available for ordering!
There is a total of 2 photos. The children had a look at them today.
Each photo comes with a folder, and would cost $3 [So, 1 photo - $3, 2 photos - $6]
I would be taking orders and collecting money until the end of this week.
Buying of the photos is NOT compulsory.


I've posted the photos for parents to have a look as well.
The quality of the photos here is not good here as they are only sample photos. The quality of the photos that you will receive will be much better.

Awards for March!

Dear all,

This entry would be filled with pictures. There are 3 events I would like to cover here.

=======================================================

Awards...


Firstly, I would like to congratulate our Class Image hosting by PhotobucketStarImage hosting by Photobucket Pupils of March!

They are, in no particular order of merit,


  • Hansel Kwok
  • Isabel Wee
  • Darren Tan

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hansel
has shown more responsibility in his written work as well as his classroom duties. I would like to commend on his great improvement in handwriting. Keep up the good job, Hansel!

Isabel has always been a very affective child, showing care and concern for her classmates. She is often looked upon as a big sister for the other children, which is good as she is an excellent role model. She also shows initiative in helping and sharing.

Darren has been a terrific buddy to our new pupil from Korea, Jeong Soo. He has really helped me in assisting Jeong Soo to follow the lesson in class and doing his work. He is also very patient in his approach.

I've given out a special 'Working Hard' Award to 2 pupils. I have noticed that they have put in extra effort in both English and Maths and have improved! They are,

  • Priscilla Soh
  • N Padmarupah

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Congratulations to all our young accomplishers! =)

=======================================================

International Friendship Day...

International Friendship Day is a good way to help our pupils learn about and appreciate other cultures. Through this day, we want to nurture in our pupils the spirit of friendship and collaboration among different peoples.

Last Friday, we celebrated International Friendship Day after the Sports Day. In Kuo Chuan, every class is to adopt a country and decorate it in view of this special day. We decided on Korea, as Jeong Soo would be able to shed us some light on the Korean language as well as to involve him more actively in the class.

The children helped mainly in the colouring of pictures.

See photos below! [Click on photo for enlarged version] Enjoy!

Oral Exams & some photos!

Dear all,

Some important information first!

1. English Oral Examinations [17th and 18th April]
All pupils would have received a 'Tips for Oral Exams' and 'Vocabulary List'. Kindly go through the sets of notes with your child in prepation for the upcoming oral exams.
This is how marks are allocated.

Reading a passage (10 marks)
Picture conversation - Describing a picture (6 marks)
Sight words - Reading 8 out of 15 words (4 marks).
Total (20 marks)

2. Change of Spelling Day
Upon this request by several parents, I have decided to change the Spelling day to THURSDAY. As I understand that Chinese spellings are tough, this arrangement would give children ample time [a day in between] to study for both Spellings.

The remaining spelling days are 20th April, 27th April, 4th May and 11th May.

Some other matters

1. Sports Day
The Couragers had their very first Sports Day last Friday and I hope that they enjoy it as much as I do taking photos of them. Although there can only be medals for the 1st and 2nd positions, most of the children had good sportsmanship and were happy for their winner friends. Of course there were a handful who were very upset and claimed unfairness. As the children are still young, winning and losing becomes very important to them. I hope that, with the help of parents, we are able to instill in children sportsmanship as well as being able to face and overcome difficulties and failures. This would us develop children with character. =)

2. Importance of drinking milk
There was a talk on the importance of drinking milk by HL Company. The children had fun dancing the 'Banana' dance and were treated to packets of milk. We drank the milk in class together. Click here for the photos!
