Preparation for Mathematics Examination

Dear children,

Please remember to bring your calculator and mathematical set (Protractor, Set-squares) tomorrow for your examination. Have an early night today to ensure that you are alert tomorrow.

You can play during recess, but please do not over-exert yourself . Your Paper 2 is right after recess and you need to stay focused. I will see you in the canteen during the last 10 minutes of your recess. Use that time to wash up, cool off and clear your mind to prepare for a long paper ahead.

Take care of your health meanwhile and all the best!

Do bring back your Term 3 Mathematics file, filed completely with parents' signature and leave it in the class cupboard for my checking. Thank you. 

Yours Sincerely,
Miss Chan

Microsoft Excel Workshop

Dear all,

Currently I have received the reply slip for 25 pupils who will be attending the Excel workshop conducted by the school. What about the rest of the class? I would highly encourage you to attend the workshop as it is subsided by the school and you only have to pay $5 instead of the original $10 course fee.

Everyone in the class is very familiar with Microsoft word and Microsoft PowerPoint by now. On top of those skills that you already have, knowing how to use the Microsoft Excel software will be useful in a long run too.

You can make use of Excel to help you with data entry and processing (meaning to find total, average, etc) or even use it to create graphs, charts and tables. During the course, the concept of Average will also be brought in for application.

Do submit your reply slip on Monday and I hope everyone will try their best to attend the course if you are available.

Yours Truly,
Miss Chan

Home Based Learning

Dear Children,

Today is the 2nd day of the PSLE Oral examination, please be reminded to start on your Home Based Learning assignments on MC Online Portal if you have not already done so. Currently, only 64% of the Mathematics assignments are completed.

Do make good use of this long weekend to revise for your CA2 examinations. Remember to also revise your Term 1 and Term 2 topics and PTS skills. The best way to know if you have grasped the concept is to cover the corrections and retry the questions that you have done wrongly the first time. If you are able to achieve the correct answer this time around, that means you have understood the concept better. If it is still wrong, refer to the corrections and try to understand what went wrong. However, if you are still confused, please seek help from someone at home or you may also approach me on Monday and I will explain to you.

Work hard and always give your best!

Yours Truly,
Miss Chan

School National Day Celebrations

Dear all,

How did you spend your National Day yesterday?

Although it rained on Wednesday halfway through our celebrations, it was still a fun-filled day!


Our classmates Ying Fei and Samantha from the Brownies and Regine and Shihui from Red Cross are part of the flag bearers who led the parade in the morning.
(Sorry, I do not have a photo of the parade currently, shall upload it later.) 




 Many of our classmates volunteered to help out with the Junior Games Day. I was really heartened to see that some of you really ran along with them and cheering them on. That was excellent! I'm sure the lower primary children really had a lot of fun thanks to your efforts.


Back in the hall, the rest of the class competed against other P5 classes playing traditional games such as pick-up sticks and five stones.

Due to the rain, we had to end our activities pre-maturely. We ended the day singing National Day songs in the hall. Everyone came in red-coloured attire, great class spirit!

Yours Sincerely,
Miss Chan

Chinese Language Fortnight

Dear all,


To create a more conducive environment for learning and using of the Chinese Language, our school organised “Mother Tongue Fortnight” from 22 July to 2 August 2013. We had both our own pupils and even external organisations to put up Chinese performances and our class was also involved through the following: 

Interclass Chinese Recital Competition

Our class is one of the 3 classes who went through the preliminary round to perform during assembly. Though we did not emerge the Champion in the end, it was still great effort. Well done! 




Chinatown Heritage Centre Learning Journey

The learning journey to Chinatown on Friday was led by our very own classmates Zachary, Regine, Paul and Jane. They did an excellent job of leading and explaining the various parts of the Museum! Here are some photos to share our experience.  











Yours Truly,
Miss Chan
