The Chinese Opera Game

Dear children,

Let's learn the vocabulary in this book! Click on the picture to be directed to this website where you can learn the meaning and spelling of the words! Use the 'Flashcard', 'Learn', 'Speller' and 'Test' to learn, and you can even play the games 'Scatter' and 'Space Race'. 

Hope this helps you with your homework (STELLAR WS p. 2 - 3) and your spelling test next Friday.

(Spelling list has been issued today and is now uploaded under the <Spelling List> tab)

Sincerely,

Mrs Soh

Vowels

Dear children, 

Can you remember the vowel song Teacher Betty taught us?

We went through when 'y' becomes a short vowel and long vowel.

We also learnt the difference between the short vowel 'a' and 'e' sound. Can you remember?

'a' - said with the jaw dropping

'e' - said with a smile

Have a great weekend!

Love,

Mrs Soh

Gender of Nouns

Dear children,

Can you remember what we learnt today? We used our iPads to research on the topic of Gender of Nouns. We searched for "list of gender of nouns" on Google and used the first link we found. We managed to find most of the answers to our Grammar Workbook (p16).

LIGHT Programme

Dear parents,

We are starting our LIGHT Programme tomorrow, please allow your child to bring their iPads to school and that they know how to unlock the iPads. iPads will be collected in the morning and locked up in the cupboard and only taken out during the lesson. The children will get back their iPads before they leave for home.

Sincerely,
Mrs Soh

Singular and Plural Nouns

Dear children,

We revised our singular and plural nouns today. We have talked about some of them but those are not all! Refer to the chart for details:

We also talked about uncountable nouns and how to write them in sentences if we want to mention the quantity of it. We used the example, 'furniture' that appeared in our workbook. 

A piece of furniture

Two pieces of furniture

Composition 1 Corrections (A Regretful Incident)

Composition 2

A Regretful Incident

Dear children,

I've written my version of the story for you to refer to. The underlined phrases/sentence will be helpful for other stories as well. Notice that I choose to write more of the characters' actions and expressions to show their feelings, rather than simply telling how they feel.

E.g. Compare these paired sentences:

1a) Tom was worried.
1b) Tom's face turned pale.

2a) She was angry.
2b) Her face was red with fury.

3a) She scolded the boys.
3b) She yelled, her finger jabbing the air as she spoke.

4a) The boys felt bad.
4b) The boys hung their heads in shame.

5a) The vase broke.
5b) The vase shattered into many tiny pieces.

Hope you can try to write in more detail when you rewrite your composition!

A Regretful Incident

           "Do you want to play ball? Tom asked his brother. The two boys were alone at home on a Friday afternoon. They were bored as they had finished their homework. They decided to play with their ball in the living-room. They enjoyed themselves very much.

            In the middle of their game, Tom got too excited and gave the ball a hard kick. The ball flew high into the air and it bounced onto the table.

            Crash! The vase on the table shattered into many tiny pieces. "Oh no!" Tom gasped in horror. It was their mother's favourite vase! The two brothers got very worried. "What should we do?" They looked at each other helplessly.

              Suddenly, the door creaked open. Mother was home! The moment she stepped into the room and saw the mess on the floor, she glared sternly at the boys. Her face was red with fury.

              "Who did this?" she yelled, her finger jabbing the air as she spoke. The boys hung their heads in shame. They hurriedly picked up the flowers and swept up the broken vase pieces with a broom. Mother took away their ball and locked it up in the store room.

               The brothers regretted their actions deeply. The next day, they used their savings to buy a new vase to replace the broken one. They also bought a bouquet of fresh flowers and a card. They apologised to their mother and promised to be careful the next time. Mother was pleased and forgave them.
