Parent Student Meeting

Time of the year for the Student Parent Meeting again...

We were there a little early and they were still having their break.. so I walked around the school to take pictures lor...

 

Seems like this year they were doing alot about dramas. They were reading and acting out playscripts and also asked to write them as well.. 

Finally got a picture of the JetPack where Ace won the recycling competition...

As they were learning about Aztecs.. many of the children did homelinks and made Aztec Temples..

I was wondering why they did the dream catchers since it is like Indian right.. Ace said it is because it was an exercise in weaving as the Aztecs did lots of weaving..

One of the other Recycling models I found cute.. apparently is a helmet of sorts:)

This term, Ace's targets are to complete Australia in Numeracy passport, to use more WOW words, to read more books and to get better in football...

I am curious what this is.. apparently is some sort of programming thing that they are doing in their ICT class...

I like it that they actually get to grade themselves and review what they have done...

They did something about mosaic and patterns...

And I am very surprised that Ace things there are more patterns in Singapore. I find that there are more patterns here since all the mosques are embellished with patterns and you can see them everywhere.

This one is a review of what happened when they went to watch this movie in the IMax Theatre last December. If you noticed, Most of Ace's work require a redo.. because either he never pay attention and did not follow instructions OR he did it too slow so no time to embellish it... Sigh.. dunno when then he will learn to pay attention and work very fast like us leh...

This boy funny.... I quote.. "I learnt that stop anitmation is something that needs ltos of time, patience and hard work to make. I wouldn't want to be a stop motion animator because I'm not patient and I don't like doing hard work. But I want to watch another stop animation flim in IMAX..." wah lau... plain lazy! wahahaha

They also did something on recycling and so did a chart to compare reducing and reusing..

That is one of the play scripts they had to do because for a week or so, they were doing lots of drama...

This one is they had to write a story about this huge pile of rubbish...

Below is what Ace wrote..

He had a messy setting... and I am quite amused that he used words like "Where's my posh dog?"  wahaha..

Honestly, I also dun really understand what Ace is trying to say.. wahahaha

Anyway, he evetually developed it into this...

I like it that the teachers communicate by writing in the book but I dun like it that Ace said NO but there was no follow up on that and he did not make effort to complete his work.. sigh...

That is what the class made when they were doing recycling as a topic..

Again.. cannot complete his work.. sigh...

This is what Ace thinks about the Sports Day...

They are split into three spelling groups.. despite Ace spelling many words wrong in his work.. he told me he is in the first group which are better in spelling.. wahaha

There is a work plan check list that they have but I think Ace doesnt really know how to use it and doesnt really use it to track things...

They were given a picture as the one below and have to write a story based on the picture.

That is their adhoc french lessons..

Wah, got pple so hao lian one or not... Teacher asked what he wants to find out.. his reply is... "I have a book about Aztecs. I read it earlier this year so I don't have anything else to find out.." kauz...

This one he drew for his french lesson..he has to intro himself in french...

They were given a piece and asked to highlight various types of words.. hence the colours you see..

In line with their DRAMA and AZTEC topic, they had an Aztec Drama workshop... PAID one of cos.. not free...

Creative writing. They are given the theme.. The Magician's Shop.. following up their reading and review of the previous article they were given.. so now they have to write their own..

Furthur developing their story...

THis one is the debate that they had on the no pens day where Ace fumbled and was upset cos he thinks he is the reason that they lost...

This one is a project they had to do and then present on ipad...

This is world reading day.. they decided to write their favourite sentences from their favourite Horrid Henry books:)

Wow.. they even get to practice writing on the floor using chalk! I wonder if kids in sgp get to do tat now..

This is the buddy day where they were each given a reading buddy from  Year 2 and they had to take turns to read to each other:)

They are reading and drawing out the book characters...

Learning spelling.. the fun way!:)

This portion is what they call REFLECTION TIME.. where they write about what they have done and how they feel about it..

They were given a story to read and had to draw out what they thought the character in the story looked like. I think my son is very honest leh.. can tell the teacher "I FORGOT" and dun bother to check!!

This is where the chocolate lady came to school and taught them about chocolate and how to make chocolate stuff!:)

My son very good.. tell teacher he does not like something.. and then the reason is because "it takes time and XX tried to copy me!" wah lau.... I really BTH leh.. heng I am not his teacher!

This is mathematics. Anyhowly do his work. orh bee good kena scolding..

Ace said he had some issues with fractions when they first started.. that is why his work luan qi ba zao.. but after some time, he finally understood it and now can do his work better..

That's their fun way of learning math.. they are given a sum and have to "splat" on the correct answer..

Ace said that he had difficulty making the prickly star shape on a flat surface. But he came up with a good idea how to do it and won himself 5 house points for that good idea..

This is a Math test.. if they can achieve 10/10 three weeks in a row they can move on... Ace was so happy to achieve a 10 that day. Alas, slipped back to 8/10 again the next week.. ganbate Ace!

The class is using a special thermometer to measure the temperature in the classroom..

These are the things he learnt from the Chocolate Sale....

This is how Ace's name will look like in Aztec language..

Mr Bailey, who is doing a bike tour around the world was invited to his school to give a talk.. they had to prepare the questions they would like to ask him..

Ace's self intro..

His research work..

I asked him what is this.. he says it is a setting for one of his plays..

THese are the characters in the play and their descriptions..

This is how he created his backpack..

THey are taught how to write a story with beginning, build up, dilenma, resolution and ending..

NOticed that the extra buildings they were building for the school are almost ready! wow.. very fast leh. I heard next school year they can take in students liao... they will provide Year 7 (that is like sec 1) for the students. I am glad lah.. cos in case Ace needs to do year 7, at least is direct entry....

Told Ace he needs to buck up on being more careful, neat and listen to instructions lah.. same things I nag him about at home when i give him work.. sigh...
