Updates from Mrs Pearlyn See / Miss Stella Fernandez

Dear parents,

Greetings and hello again. Your girls are settling in well and have fallen into the routine. Thanks for the emotional support and preparation given to them.

We encourage the girls to copy the homework into their handbook. i will communicate with you on personal issues through the handbook. You could email me or write to me too.

Gentle reminder to update all particulars through the school's website if you have not done so. Appreciate if you could update the pupil personal and family data for our personal reference that is given to the girls last Friday.

I have given them the English Spelling list and Spelling will be every Friday. Please ask your girl to learn her Spelling daily so she will not feel stressed. Mother Tongue Spelling will be on every Tuesday.

Please get a mini whiteboard with a marker and duster. We will use this for Maths/MT/etc.

The T-shirts/tags have been distributed. If there are any issues, do get back to the bookshop.

Their PE/PAL programme will begin this week. They can wear their PE T-shirts on the days they have PE and PAL. If your girls wear jacket to school, we encourage her to wear the school jacket.

Just a few observations, some of the girls need more monitoring in terms of handwriting and being careful. Appreciate your help in monitoring them and ensuring that they are able to form letters properly. Please avoid getting mechanical pencils for them.

Please ensure that their hair is neat and fringes pinned up as some of them are sporting fringes that are too long. Please keep their hair accessories to school colours.

For Silent Reading, the girls need to bring an English Storybook on Monday and a Mother Tongue Storybook on Friday. Please ensure they have the storybook in their bag.

Once again, please make reading part and parcel of her timetable. Do encourage her to pen her thoughts and experiences after talking about it in her diary/journal. We will be giving a Reading Log for recording the books they have read.

From the desks of Teachers of P1Integrity (2013)

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Warm greetings and best wishes for a good year 2013. The teachers of P1
Integrity are Mrs Pearlyn See (Form Teacher) and Ms Stella Fernandez
(Co-Form Teacher).

We would like to work closely with you to make your child’s first year in school both fruitful and enjoyable. One of the most important aspects is the need for communication between the parents and teachers. If you would like to contact us, we will be available at:

Ms Stella Fernandez: 91850445, stella_fernandez@moe.edu.sg

We will be setting up a class blog to update you on the weekly events/homework etc. The address is http://www.1integrity2013.blogspot.com.

It will be essential for your child to have some independent skills like handling money (small amounts), self dressing and packing her school bag, etc. Do let your child practise these regularly on her own so that she gains confidence in taking care of her responsibilities.

Reading is a very essential life skill so please encourage your child to read everyday and schedule it as part and parcel of her timetable. Help her to come up with her own home timetable to manage her time better and give her responsibility over her own activities.

A class timetable is given to your child. However there may be changes. Please bear with us. A new timetable will be given if there are any new changes. Don’t worry too much about what they have to bring. Please follow the schedule as shown below.

We really hope to work with you and your child to make 2013 a year with less stress and more positive and enriching experiences.
