Spelling & Informal Assessment

Dear Parents,

My apologies on this change of day for the spelling. The students will be having IT lesson on Wednesday. Hence, there will not be enough time for them to have spelling on that day.

I have overlooked their Chinese spelling being on Thursday. Therefore spelling for English will be on Friday instead this week.

May I take this note to also inform you that there will be an informal reading assessment this week. It might stretch till next week. There's no weightage for this assessment.

Also, there will be an informal poem recitation on week 5. This might also stretch till week 6. I will be briefing your child about this tomorrow.

Update on Concerns raised by parents


1) How often is the aircon being serviced?

The aircon is being serviced montly according to our OM.

2) Ventilation issue

Whenever the room is stuffy, I will usually open the back door of the class. Currently, there is not stuffiness felt as the gap timing between the time the morning session students leave the room to the time the P1s enter the class is about 20 mins or less.
3) Seating Arrangement
I have arranged their seating arrangement such that no one is blocking your child's view when they are seated on the chair. When I am teaching, students are seated in front to ensure that they are able to see the board and screen.

During the times when they are required to copy things into their student diary or book, students are allowed to come to the front if they are not able to see from where they are seated.

4) Cleanliness of the class

The classroom is being swept daily.
