Our 1st and 2nd day of School
Wednesday, January 5, 2011

These two days, I took the time to catch up on things my p2D children did during their school holidays. I managed to share with them about my 1-week trip to Australia, Perth. I believed they enjoyed my photos and places of interest that I visited. Also, for those who have yet the opportunities to go to Perth, or overseas, my experience somehow gave them an insight about how different other countries are as compared to Singapore. We talked about the weather in Perth which I considered as 'cold' summer because of the very cold sea breeze.

We also discussed about how we want to set the class rules. Being more matured now, I gave them the opportunities to make choices as well as working together as a group to think about the class rules. I also let them elect some of their classmates whom they think could be the class monitors. We have yet to decide or do our voting democratically as I would want them to really see if the pupils chosen truly deserve the role as the class monitor as well as having the leadership qualities. I am very proud of them because this time round, it is easier to make them understand the importance of behaving well and having good relationship with everyone in the class. I hope 2D can foster a greater class bond and class spirit!

Just for Parents' information, the spelling list for term 1 will be given latest by Friday. (Parents can also download the softcopy of the spelling list from the embedded link on the right column beside my entry)

Also, this Friday, the school is conducting temperature taking exercise. I need your assistance to check that your child brings his or her thermometer to school. For those who has lost their thermometer, they can purchase one at the school's book store for $4.20. I will be collecting thermometers from my pupils tomorrow and keep them for Friday.

Best regards,
Mrs Riz
