Math Language

Dear all,


Today's Math lesson was very important.


Key concepts/Maths language learnt:
More than, greater than, Most,
Less than, fewer than, Least

The above concepts are very important as they are building blocks for problem solving.

Please spend time revising these concepts with your children. :)
Another way to show is by using the number line to show which numbers are bigger, which ones are smaller.

Cheers,
Mdm Chan

Spelling dates

It is happening every Monday.

Dates for Spelling:
Spelling 2: 23 January

Spelling 3: 6 February



Spelling 4: 13 February



Spelling 5: 20 February


Spelling 6: 27 February


I will go to town on my bulldozer, my big yellow bulldozer. 


Spelling 7: 6 March



These pieces of paper in front of the spelling booklet is very important. As we do not have any textbooks for English, they form an understanding of what had been done in the book. 
For the vocabulary, we need to know and understand these words and put them in the correct contextual use. 

For grammar, these are the aspects which have been covered in the stellar worksheets and we are expected to know. 

For word identification, the initial consonant sounds for Mrs Wishy-washy, I have covered them using star fall website. Pls feel free to consolidate or review them again if there is a need to. 



Regards, 
Mdm Chan

Dictation for spelling 2

Please note the Dictation for Spelling 2.

This will be conducted together with the Spelling 2 this coming Monday, 23 January.
