Dear Parents,
This week is a really busy week for me. Apologies for the delay in updating the class blog.
First of all, thanks for guiding your child to complete all their holiday assignment. I can see that some of them enjoy doing the blue "hanyu pinyin" booklet, just that a number of them did not colour the pictures that they had drawn. No worries, I will return their work soon so that they can carry out the "upgrading" work of colouring.
Syllabus covered:
Hanyin pinyin lessons completed - syllabus "ia", "iao", "ian", "iang" and "iong". The children are fluent in reading out the hanyu pinyin, just need to focus on spelling them out when read to them. Dear Mothers, did your child address you as "娘"？Reason being that they learnt a new song called “童谣”(我的家在陋巷，陋巷是个好地方......） and in the lyrics are some childhood games that the children played, including “扮新娘”。Thus, I compared "新娘" to “娘”and let them know that in olden days, children called their mother “娘”.
Next Thursday is spelling day again! Remember to "pretest" your child on 听写（五）.
Now, the 2 exciting activites to be conducted in the next 2 weeks:
Cup-cake making session: The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) initiated this fun session and it is scheduled on Wednesday, 1 April (believe us, it is REALLy happening on April's fool day!) during curriculum time. Please prepare an apron for your child on that day so that their uniforms would not be too messy in the process of making cupcakes. One of the students suggested wearing their calligraphy "apron". I am fine with it, if the children do not have any kid's apron at home.
Watching "You and Me" movie at Cathy Cineplex: Yes, we would be heading to Cathy cineplex to watch our very first movie, "You and Me" together on Tuesday, 7 April. What a memorable first outing it would be!
In this movie, you would see our very own Nanyang students and teachers in it! Kindly follow this link - http://unmeee.blogspot.com/ to watch the trailer and know more about the movie. The consent forms would be given to the students this coming week. Parents could contact the general office to purchase the movie tickets at $5 each.
