1) There is no homework today.
2) Letter to parents on Chinese New Year Celebrations in school on 18 Feb 2015
3) Parents to sign spelling book for the past 2 exercises
4) Today for English, an exercise on irregular past tense verbs was given to the pupils to complete.
This is an area of weakness observed among the class pupils especially in composition writing. For example, many pupils wrongly stated "flied" as the past tense for "fly".They need to build up on their knowledge of such verbs to minimize such errors either in Paper 2 or composition.
Irregular past tense verbs are words like "chose" which is the past tense for "choose". Usually for verbs in the past tense, we will add a "ed" at the basic form of the word but this may not be so for irregular verbs.
5) For Math, on the topic of Graphs, the pupils need to read the questions and study the tables carefully. For example, on tables depicting number of coins and value of coins collected, pupils must be able to infer from the questions what they are asking for before they can answer the questions on graphs accurately.They must be able to distinguish what number of coins and value of coins are. These were reinforced today.
