It's the start to Week 5. One more week to go before the CA2 begins. The workbooks for English have been returned for revision. Please bring your workbooks tomorrow for me to clear the corrections. English files will be tidied and completed by this week for revision for next week's CA.
[Science]
Today, Miss Leong taught the topic of Conductors and Insulators of electricity. You need to know the key terms such as:
Conductor of Electricity: allow electricity flow through them. Conductors are materials that can carry electricity - they conduct electricity. Metal materials such as copper, iron, steel and aluminium are all good conductors of electricity.
Insulator of Electricity: do not allow electricity to flow through them. Materials such as wood, plastic, rubber and glass do not carry electricity and are called insulators – they don’t conduct electricity.
Please note the importance of writing correctly. Most common mistake is writing that an object is not a good conductor of electricity (this means that the object can conduct electricity but is not strong enough). If you want to write that an object does not electricity to pass through it, use the term 'INSULATOR'! Take note of this very common mistake.
Most of you still have problems with writing specifically with science concepts and vocabulary words. Many of you are still writing generally. Stick with the key words. Please take note!
[English]
Dictation Unit 9 is this Thursday and Spelling Unit 9 is this Friday. In lieu of your CA next week, lets' complete these 2 tests by this week in time for your revision. This week is going to be tough and intense revision will take place. Apply rule #5 "DO YOUR BEST IN EVERYTHING YOU DO". You work hard for what you want to achieve. Work hard, play hard!
[Homework]
- Social Studies NE Show Reflection to be handed up by Friday.
Dear parents,
To foster greater collaboration and partnership, this year's NE Show reflection includes a portion on parents' feedback and comments. You can write down what you have learnt from your child or comments about your child's learning or what we can do to improve.
- Corrections for workbook (Eng) and Spelling Unit 8.
[Sexuality Education Programme]
Dear parents,
The forms for the sexuality programme has been handed out and I hope to get the forms all back by tomorrow. This is an important programme by our school to educate the children on sexuality. It is not the same as sex education so rest assure that this programme focuses mainly on the growing up years both physically and emotionally. It is an important part of our curriculum for all P5s and P6s. Do drop me an email if you have any queries. We strongly encourage you to allow your children to attend the talks. Parents are also welcomed to attend the talks and join in with your kids.
[Study Group]
Dear all,
With regards to the coming CA2 and after some conversations with pupils, I have decided to implement a after school study group in which students can come together to complete their homework, personal work and go through key questions in Science or English from 3pm - 4pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I will be having my extra remedial lessons. Pupils are also welcomed to join in. On Thursdays, Madam Ong will be having her supplementary and remedial lessons, so I won't be touching that day.
Students will be stationed at the study corner where I will personally supervise and make sure they are on task. I will brief the students in detail tomorrow. This is not compulsory and if you find that your child need greater help and focuses better in school to do his/her work, do encourage them to stay for the study group.
Thank You,
Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
