Dear Parents of 1E,

Please take note that there will be an individual phototaking session in school, therefore the children will have to be in their school uniform on Monday 18th January 2010. As P.E session will be cancelled on Monday, I would like to make a switch with Friday (22nd January 2010)'s Math period ,0815-0915. So Friday, since they are already in their P.E attire due to Fitness Friday, after Fitness Friday, we will proceed to have P.E instead of Math. On the other hand, on Monday (18th Jan 2010)'s P.E session will be swapped with Math.

Besides that, I would like to inform you that I've been noticing some of the pupils still carrying semester 2 books in their bag. Here is a list of basically what they would have to carry everyday.

- Pencil case
- A set of colour pencils
- glue & scissors
- Student Handbook
- Homework file
- A storybook ( for silent reading)
- Math Textbook 1A
- Chinese/Malay textbook.

For certain days such as Monday and Thursday, they would have to bring their music book and art materials respectively. Please ensure that the child packs his/her bag according to the timetable given. :)

Please also take note that spelling will be on Mondays and mental sums on Thursdays. I would need them to prepare a single lined exercise book for mental sums. In addition, I would like to request them to bring along another exercise book for Word Bank, this book will basically be their Grammar and Vocab practice book.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your kind co-operation.

Best Regards
Miss Sakinah

Temperature Taking & Buddy system!

Hello parents and pupils of 1E!

Sorry for the absence from the blogging scene, I've been trying to upload some of the pictures up into my laptop but my bluetooth was down. Anyway, i hope everyone enjoyed their first week in school! We had our 3 days of orientation where we had recess in class, and for the next 3 schooldays, we were all attached to a buddy. Our buddies were all from Primary 5B and let's give a big THANK YOU to them for helping us during recess and showing us around the school!

Our Buddies and US!














































We have also received our personal thermometers! Parents of 1E, please ensure that the thermometers are always in their bags in case they fall i and their temperature would have to be
taken. I hope all of you are keeping your thermometers safe, because if you'll lose it, you will have to buy a new one from the school bookshop and it's not cheap. ):

Taking our temperature in class!

I would also like to thank the parents who came down to help me with the class decoration on Saturday. I wouldn't have done it without all your help and ideas. Thank You Very Much!

Do look out for new updates!

If We Hold On Together

Dear Primary 1E,

Here is the video of the song If We Hold On Together, the theme song for term 1. It's taken from the movie Land Before Time. Enjoy!



Here's the lyrics

If We Hold On Together - Diana Ross

Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

Enjoy!
