Holiday Homework Update

I'm glad that more pupils have completed their online maths assignment. Now, 12 pupils have submitted the assignment online. However, Sherman and Hmu have forgotten to attach the excel file, so, Sherman and Hmu, please re-submit your assignment.

Holiday Homework

Remember to complete your holiday homework before the new term begins.

1) online Maths assignment (Bar Graphs)
So far, only 4 pupils have submitted their work (Bonus points for Zhi Yi, Zhi Sheng, Zhi Yong, Shawn Goh in Term 4). Remember, go to the portal/Online assignments/Mathematics/Bar Graphs and save the attachment on your own desktop. Then complete the assignment. After that, submit the assignment by clicking on online assignment submission/Mathematics and attaching the file. Do use Mrs So's notes for guidance.

2) online English Forum (The Planets)
We had a lively online discussion on Monday, 7-8 p.m. However, only 11 pupils logged on. If you had missed the session, you can still do the assignment. Click on the class announcements and follow the instructions. You can still contribute to the forum by replying to my post.

3) Revise times tables
You can revisit the multiplication games sites on the blog.

Enjoy your holidays!
