1) There is no homework today.
Things to note
(a) In supplementary lesson, I had a one-to-one feedback session with the pupils on the composition that they had written. This is to inform them individually on how to improve their composition writing.
Areas to note:
Poor linkage of ideas (due to abrupt change of ideas), insufficient details to support each idea, spelling, punctuations, rushed conclusion and a need to use more varied vocabulary.
(b) For Math, they revisited questions on heuristics like "guess-and- check", "making assumptions" and were introduced to "listing".

Homework on 21 January 2015
1) Companion Booklet 2 Practice Sheets 1 and 2 (pgs 2- 4)
Things to note:
(1) For Science, the pupils did some experiments on measurement of mass and volume. They used the electronic scale and lever scale, They also learnt how to measure the volume of irregular objects.
For reading the volume of a liquid, the pupils are taught to position their eye at the same level as the liquid level (known as the meniscus). This is is avoid parallax error.
They also completed a worksheet to assess their understanding of matter and whether they can identify what a given experiment seeks to test (whether it is on "mass" or "occupies space").
(2) For Math, we did some revision on rounding of whole numbers. Do advise the pupils to read the questions carefully as they assumed that questions will always be asked in a certain manner. For example, the number of cars are about 200, rounded off to the nearest hundreds. They assume that the first question asked them what is the greatest actual number of cars, followed by the smallest actual number of cars (which was the practice questions in workbook). Thus in the Math worksheet, when the questions are asked in the reverse sequence, their answers are wrong as they did not read the questions carefully. Do impress upon them on the importance of reading instructions and questions.

Homework on 20 January 2015
1) Math WB Review 1
2) Stellar WS "Canoe Diary" Pgs 2 and 6 only
Things to note:
Do advise pupils to go through their times-table again as I realised that they have difficulty computing simple multiplication questions accurately.This is evident in word problems where they are able to come up with the correct equations but their computations are wrong. Some forgot about the regrouped numbers and some simply forgot about their times-table. As the topic of Whole numbers- multiples" is closely linked to the times-table, they must be proficient in them.
Letters: (1)Networking letter and reply form (2) Science resources

Homework on 16 Jan 2015
1) Math WS 2A
Things to note:
1) Today I introduced Visual Text Comprehension, a component in English, to the pupils.
2) For Math, a few pupils are confused when it comes to rounding numbers to the nearest tens and hundreds. I have advised them to highlight in the question, what they are supposed to round off the actual numbers to. Many a times, the pupils do not read the question carefully and attempt the questions immediately. In questions like rounding off a number to the nearest tens, I advised them to underline the digit in the tens place and circle the digit which determines whether the number is rounded up on not, (in this case, it is the digit in the ones place). I hope this helps.

2) Math Practice- Numbers to 100 000 via Mconline
Things to note:
1) There is spelling tomorrow.
2) It is observed that the pupils need to improve on their grasp of vocabulary and spelling.
Do encourage them to read a wider genre of books and while attempting the online vocabulary exercises, they may use the dictionary. When I review the test results, I will go through some common errors with them. (for e.g. the usage of "scalded" and "burnt")
3) Consent form for supplementary lessons is given out today. I have explained to pupils that supplementary lessons will be held in Term 1.

Things to note:
(i) Dear parents, please look through and sign both sides of the student particulars form and it is to be returned on Monday.
(ii) On Math topic of Whole numbers (1), it is observed that pupils tend to rely on mental calculation when attempting number patterns or simple addition/ subtraction questions. I have reminded them to check by showing workings to ensure that their answers are accurate. Please encourage pupils to show workings.

Announcements:
1) There are 2 forms that the pupils have taken home. Parents/guardians are to fill in the Student Medical form and Pupil Profile form and return to me on Monday.
2) There is a temperature-taking exercise on 7 January 2015, Wednesday. Pupils have to take their (working) thermometers to school. I will check on Monday.
3) The English spelling list was given out today. Spelling will start in Week 2 and it will take place on every Wednesday, unless otherwise mentioned.
4) These books and files will be collected and kept in the class cupboards.
