Punctuality is a virtue. Be in the hall by 7.25 a.m. for the morning assembly. Students who arrive after 7.30 a.m. will be considered late and their names will be recorded. Update the form teachers when your child is going to be absent from school; this will allow the teacher to prepare the necessary work to help your child when they return to school. Ensure that your child hands in reply slips / forms / homework / letter of excuse / MC promptly.

English spelling will be conducted every week. It is important that your child learns his/her spelling and dictation regularly. There is a strong connection between spelling and reading and between spelling and writing.
Research findings in applied linguistics and reading research consistently show a strong correlation between reading proficiency and academic success at all ages, from the primary school right through to university level: students who read a lot and who understand what they read usually attain good grades." Pretorius, E.
Read with your child
Role model reading for pleasure and for information
Get your child to READ EXTENSIVELY
e.g. story books, magazines, newspaper articles and other materials Borrow books from the school library or NLB Download E-books Discuss what you have read and encourage your child to share his/her personal opinions
Ask 5W1H questions (Who, What, Where, When, Why, How) to encourage your child to express himself / herself Role model good listening by paying attention to what your child says Role model good pronunciation and speaking clearly and confidently Encourage your child to speak clearly and grammatically Encourage your child to speak Good Standard English
Sections Section A Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) Section B Short Answer Questions (SAQ) Section C Structured Long Answer Questions (LAQ) Total Marks 100 Total Time for Sections A, B and C: 1 h 45 min
Parents are in a good position to let their children know that solving Maths problems can be satisfying. Let your child know that anyone can be good at Maths, that knowledge of Maths is helpful in life, and that it
If your child is struggling and has lost some confidence, go back a few steps to the skills that they feel comfortable doing and build from there.
Encourage your child to give explanations
When you and your child are trying to solve a problem, have your child share his or her thinking aloud and talk about the strategies that he or she used to reach a solution. If some of your child’s ideas are puzzling, ask your child to explain further. As children talk about their ideas and how they reach solutions, they are learning to reason mathematically. Treat errors and misconceptions as opportunities to develop reasoning skills and new ideas. Also, prompt your child to think of another way to solve the problem.
Ask your child to teach you Maths If a teacher in school encourages children to use
subtraction, and a parent encourages the child to use a different approach at home, the child may get confused between both approaches. As a parent, instead of showing or telling your child how to subtract the way you learned to do it, a better approach would be to say to the child, “Teach me the way you’re learning subtraction.”
Use Maths with your child in daily life In the supermarket, compare the prices of multi-packs
Give children the opportunity to handle money and receive change. Give the child some pocket money and encourage him/her to budget how the money will be spent. When going on a journey, note the distance and the speed and estimate how long is left on a journey.
Practice Maths, very much like sports or music, is a skill that needs practice. Direct, targeted practice based on your knowledge
and complementing their school work. But tread a fine balance as too much/too often is likely to burn out even the most enthusiastic learner.

Science worksheets will be filed into the Science Files and sent back home every term for revision Parents to endorse and return the files on the last week of each term Science workbooks will also be returned to the students for revision termly.
Trigger students’ curiosity in the things around them by asking them questions Get students to connect Science to the things around them Bring students out to different places to experience the Science in living and non-living things around them e.g. Botanical Gardens, Mount Faber, Science Centre, SEA Aquarium, Hort Park, neighbourhood parks or community gardens, etc.
