Clarification on 4.7 & 4.8 being 2nd or 3rd Best Classes

Dear parents,

Some of you or your children may have mistaken 4.8 as 2nd best class and 4.7 as 3rd best class. This is not the case, just like this year, the standards of the children in 3.7 and 3.8 are on par.

4.7 & 4.8 consist of children being positions around 41 to 120.

We distributed these children randomly, thus 4.7 & 4.8 are considered the 2nd best classes.

In summary,

- 4.9 is the top class.

- 4.7 & 4.8 are the 2nd best classes.

- 4.1 to 4.6 are the mixed classes (there's no such thing as 4.1 being the last class, the children are all randomly distributed).

Hope this blog entry can clear your doubts :)

Cheers,

Mrs Boey

13 Jul + Notes on Conversion for Distance ("km" vs "m")

Homework:
1) Math Workbook – pages 29 to 34

Points to note and remember:
1km = 1000m
1m = 100cm

(A) Conversion of "km" to "m"
When we are doing number bonds in converting m to km, we break up the thousands and the remaining ones. For example,
2587m
= (2 thousands and 587 ones) metres
= 2000m + 587m
= 2km + 587m
= 2km 587m

(B) Conversion of "m" to "km"
When we are doing number bonds in converting km to m, we find out how ones there are in the thousands and then add them to the remaining ones. For example,
3km 500m
= 3000m + 500m
= 3500m

When I think of my childhood memories, one of my dearest is going down to the river stream by my old house in the village. I close my eyes and in a mere moment I am nine years old again, playing at my favourite spot.

As I was sitting at the shore by the beach, listening to the sounds of the waves, my mind went back two years ago to that wonderful day when I first met my best friend.

"Run! A ferocious dog is chasing us!" Peter shouted. We ran as fast as our legs could carry us. It was one of our mischievous acts when we were younger.

Lesson Review: Elaborating Details Using 5 Senses - 29 Jan

Lesson Review

Our 5 senses are our sense of hearing, sight, taste, smell and touch.
Very often, we rely on elaborating on what we see in our writings.
However, we can elaborate on details by making use of our other senses too!

We should ask ourselves what we see, what we hear, what we smell, what we feel and what we taste.

While it may be seemingly difficult to elaborate on what we taste or what we smell, we do not have to describe the actual taste or actual smell.

We can give the character's reaction to the experience.
eg. Jack took a sip of the soup, held it in his mouth and then winced. (what we taste)
Anne held her nose between her finger and thumb, closed her mouth and hurried from the room. (what we smell)

Lesson Review: Graphic Organiser for Composition - 15 Jan

Lesson Review

A good story has a strong beginning, mighty middles and excellent ending.

Beginning should identify the setting and characters in the story.
Middle should highlight problems (conflict) and elaborate details.
Ending should have resolutions to problems and a coda.

A graphic organiser highlights main points to be included in the beginning, middle and ending of a story. It helps you plan and organise the ideas to be used in a composition.

Reference: Picture composition (1) & Graphic Organiser (Beginning, Middle & Ending)
