PLEASE return the ECO GARDEN permission slip ASAP. I would love 2 -3 volunteers for this MORNING trip on 20th April.
I'll be away from Wednesday to Saturday at a conference. Please communicate directly with Sathia preferably VIA the NOTEBOOK. Alternatively, email Sathia and cc me in on those days. sathiauwc@uwcsea.edu.sg . Mrs Christina Chua is covering the class.
The relief teacher will be working on "time" during maths and the children will bring home a hand made clock. It would be great to encourage using time at home. o'clock, quarter ( and 15 mins past) and half past ( 30 mins past) are a great start ... Also, estimating time ... in one hour we will.... eg. How long do you think we need to get to... how long have we been here... hours in the day etc
Don't forget the skill busters are popular and the holidays might be a time to mark another one off, as well as continuing to read with your child everyday. I am going to introduce the class to an app TELLAGAMI . It's great fun, you might like to look at it over the holidays.
I remind you that we always schedule over an hour on the first day after holidays for children to share. This is great for confidence as well as getting to know and appreciate each other.
Some bring in things they've found on holiday ( A snake skin was the biggest hit) , things they've made, books they've written , photos, and a couple even sent in electronic presentations last time. We have time for everything and everyone !
THE WEEK PAST :
Thanks to Sam for introducing us to the Dragon Boat festival.
Ask your child what is happening in these photos?
Some plants are growing faster than others.
Ask your child if they moved their plants , and why they moved their plants ?
Feeding the turtles is an opportunity to think through the process of managing a service. We were really impressed with the way the children understood the process so far.
