A Peek into 2Excellence.......

The children came to school in their home clothes to celebrate Chinese New Year on 30 Jan 2014.
We did a class activity to understand how the Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year through the food they eat etc.

We then proceeded to the hall for a concert. The children in the class were very happy as our class won the Best 3 most decorated Chinese New Year Classroom Decoration Competition ! It was an honour considering that the other 2 classes that won are both P 6 classes. Thanks to all the parents who came down to lend a hand and parents who contributed crafts from home .

To my dear 2E children , your efforts have paid off. I will be sharing the prizes with you next Tuesday.

Here's wishing you all a blessed Year of the Horse .

I wish all of you.....

学业进步
身体健康
天天开心 :）  

best wishes ,

Here the pupils were using the base ten sets to help them understand the concept of regrouping 10 ones to form 1 ten when adding.

I used the same base ten sets to help them see the concept of regrouping in subtraction when regrouping of 1 ten to 10 ones is required. I got the class to demonstrate a few more examples that morning with the base 10 sets. Although it was time consuming, I felt it was time well spent as this is a crucial in getting them to see why and how the process of regrouping is done.

Most pupils were confident with the addition & subtraction "procedures ". However they will also need to explain clearly why regrouping is required in some questions to show full understanding.

   

The Chinese Department in our school organised a Chinese New Year Decoration competition this year. Here are the children busy doing up our classroom.

Thanks to the following parents who came by to help last Monday on 13 Jan  :

1. Mrs Yip ( Jovis' Mum)
2. Mrs Ang ( Alvin's Mum)
3. Mrs Kong ( Wen Kai Mum)

Thanks to Wayne, Darien , Lucus, Alvin, Wen Kai, Jovis who stayed back to help too.

This group was tasked to fold Ang Bao flowers .

cherry blossoms in the making

I love these cherry blossoms! The pupils collected branches during the weekend & we taped red cherry blossoms made of plastic bags on them. Great piece of recycling work .

Alvin found a great spot to hang the big lantern .

My happy little ones after 2 periods of  busy CNY decor

Always good to capture the pupils being focused in what they are doing :)
