Sports Carnival

Dear all,

Today was indeed a fun day for all! We had full attendance and I believe many of you enjoyed yourselves.

A big thank you to all the student helpers who volunteered to help at the Floorball station today. I was not able to capture all of you in action but I truly appreciate your efforts and enthusiasm!

Way to go Falcon!

Your Truly,
Miss Chan

Class Booth Success

Dear all,

Thank you all for coming by to support us today at the Carnival! It was a roaring success!

I was impressed by the generosity displayed, many of you contributed your tickets towards our class booth. It really showcases our strong class spirit! Way to go!

Thank you to all the volunteers who worked hard and some even stayed beyond their shift to help. You were all so enthusiastic despite the difficulties we faced due to location and space. =) Also thank you to the others who were not part of the helpers team but still came by to help out at your own free time as well!

You have all displayed our school core values of resilience, charity and sincerity. You have done me proud again. ^^

I know everyone is excited to know how much we have raised, I will announce it once I receive news from the school.What's important is not whether we have raised the most funds, but that we've all contributed to the fund-raising for the school!

Please drink lots of water and have a good rest tomorrow. Have a good September Holidays!

Yours Truly,
Miss Chan

Hello again

Dear all,

Sorry for the lack of updates lately as I was feeling unwell.  Hence here is a long post to keep up with the happenings lately.

P5 Camp

Welcome back from the camp! I am truly sorry and disappointed that I was unable to join you all, but I am glad that everyone had fun. It was a pity about your kayaking, but your safety comes first. Don't be too disappointed!

Here is the only photo I have of your performance, sent to me by the other camp teachers, who gave me positive feedback about your teamwork! Well done, I am so proud =)

Mrs Baldwin also shared with me how many of your overcame your fears and challenged yourselves during the activities. I'm sure the camp is one experience you will remember for a long time to come (I still remember my own P5 camp fondly!)

I shall try to see if I am able to get photos from the other teachers to share your experiences of camp with your parents on the blog.

Mathematics CA2

Thank you all for being so cooperative and understanding the past 2 days when I barely have my voice, hence we are still able to have lessons and check through the papers with minimal disruptions. I really appreciate that =)

As mentioned, you have all done pretty well for your Paper 1. Keep it up! I will release your Paper 2 on Monday. Let's bear in mind a few important learning points from this CA2:

1) In answering, fractions should not have decimals in it. Hence, multiply both numerator and denominator by the same number such that the decimal is removed. Then, remember to simplify the fraction.

2) When questions require drawing (Symmetry, Tessellation etc), it is best to do it in pencil. In case you make a mistake, you can easily amend it. More importantly, you should always use a ruler. Freehand drawings will be immediately marked wrong.

3) Graph question: when asked to do drawing of graphs, always draw a dotted line to match the value at the axis of the graph. This is the best way to ensure that you are accurate.

You have all done well by being very consistent with your units and final statements. Keep up the good habit!

Mid Autumn Carnival 

Thank you for volunteering to help out at the school Carnival. Almost everyone in our class is involved! I am impressed with your display of our school core value - Sincerity. I'm sure we will all have a lot of fun while doing our part for the school.

Please do continue to support by buying more tickets, the lucky draw prizes are really attractive this year (Cameras, Tablet, hampers etc) Moreover, all food, games and purchases during the Carnival can only be paid for using the coupons from the tickets. There are many stalls selling quality goods at good value, and even cheap branded bags and clothes! Parents may want to look out for those stalls on the day of the Carnival! If you wish to buy more tickets, you may do so through me or going to the general office.

We reached our target of selling all our 42 x $20 tickets! =) To do my part for the school as well, everyone in the class will be receiving a $2 coupon from me as a reward for being so supportive. Do spend it on anything that you like during the carnival!

In the event that you are unable to attend the carnival, you may pass the $2 coupon to your friends to spend at the Carnival, or donate it towards our class booth funds.

Have a good rest this weekend!

Yours Sincerely,
Miss Chan

Camp Matters

Dear all,

By now, you should be done packing for your camp. Excited? =)

Do remember to come in your PE t-shirt tomorrow and leave your handphones at home. (In the event that you do bring your mobile phone, it will be locked in the general office. So please do not bring them.)

Dear parents, although you have my mobile number, if there is any reason that you need to contact your child, please call the camp number that is given to your child during the briefing. I will not be bringing my phone around with me and also the reception there is poor, so I will not be able to respond to you. I seek your kind understanding.

Yours truly,
Miss Chan

5SD6 Mid Autumn Game Booth

Dear children,

Although we have originally finalised the game booth idea, there was feedback that the game might be too simple and may not attract enough visitors among the many game stalls during the carnival (Our target is $150 for that day).

Therefore, I've looked through the original game proposals submitted by your class again and selected a different game that was proposed by your classmates. This idea was submitted by Wan Cheng's group. Ddakji is a traditional Korean children's game and was featured on many popular variety shows, such as Running Man, and hopefully that will be an interesting factor to draw visitors to our stall.

As a class, we will probably have to work together to make quite a few of the toys for the actual game day. We will also have trial play of the game in class where everyone will make their own Ddakji and we shall see who is the King/Queen of Ddakji in 5SD6.

You may refer to the link below for more details:
How to make your own Ddakji

I apologise that I am unable to do a proper final consult with the class as I will have to submit the final idea by this Sunday. Hence I will need your consensus through the class blog. Please post your response in the padlet link below to state if you are OK with the change in game or if you have any strong objections/better suggestions. You may also state if you prefer the original bottle cap game.

Do pass the message around to your other classmates to check the blog and submit their response!

Thank you,
Miss Chan
