Free2pop:

Thanks for the reply! My child may not be able to pass down important messages to me.

I was not aware about the home science thing too , please let the kids write on the handbook for better communication as not all kid are able to convey message to their parent ( like my child ) Thanks for the understanding!

Dear Free2pop,

A slip of paper with information on the event was given out to students to be attached to their handbooks for parents to refer to.

Starkids:

Many of my friends are so envy that we were invited to attend events at the school. We really need to cherish the opportunties we have now. I believe as the school grows with more students and parents, maybe such opportunity will become lesser. We are working parents as well, I also have limited annual leave and I will take leave for event that last 2 or more hours. For those \"short lunch events\", i do communicate with my boss that i will take slightly longer lunch to attend school's events and i do compensate by working late that day. Alternatively, I will also ask my child whether he will be performing or participate for that event. If he/she does, I will try my best to attend to render him/her support.


Separately, I would like to ask whether there will be school o 5 Sep? I read the parents letters, it stated September holiday starts on 6 Sep, but just want to re-confirm as I heard there is no school on 5 Sep in some schools.

Hi Starkids,
Friday 5th September is a holiday for all schools. It is for TEACHER'S DAY.
Please do try to join us for the Teacher's Day celebration at the school on 4th September. :thankyou:

:thankyou: Tenko

Dear Starkids,

According to the “Letter to Parents from the Principal\" dated 15 July 2014, it was stated on page 4, Point 5.1, that 5 September 2014, Friday is Teachers’ Day and will be a school holiday. :dancing:

Hi Free2pop,
Don't panic! At the end of the day the teacher would understand if your child could not do the homework. As far as I know there wasn't any science homework. However, each class has their own projects and assignments. Therefore I wouldn't be able to confirm if there were or weren't homework for your child.

My suggestion would be to write a short to the form teacher explaining the situation. It would be advisable to attach the note to the student diary. You may also wish to email the teacher directly( emails can be found on the school website under OUR PEOPLE) or telephone the school and ask for the teacher to telephone you at a time convenient for the teacher and for you.

Try to enjoy your weekend.

Hi Piggycuties,

I am unable to help you with this as my son's folder is also at school. Try not to get too anxious about the test. The teachers have prepared the students already.
Enjoy your weekend.

Dear Free2pop,

West Springers who chose to participate in Scientists@PLAY during recess would have been given a note upon completion of task for them to show their parents.

Parents may then continue to engage their children in science at home.

All recess activities are optional.
So each child is empowered to make his/her own decision based on interest. :imcool:

West Springers have to spend first half of recess eating first before being allowed to participate in PLAY during recess.

Hi Tenko,


Thank you. Enjoy ur weekend too.

Dear Piggycuties & Tenko,


In line with MOE's PERI recommendations on de-emphasising assessments at the lower primary levels, we don't reveal exactly when the said assessment will be conducted in the week at West Spring. Teachers would have already prepared your child sufficiently for the assessment.

However, should parents wish to further engage and bond with their children through learning, we also do return the workbooks / files a few days before the assessment.
The Maths files will be returned to students on coming Monday.

Parents and guardians are advised not to go to other assessment websites to make reference to assesment papers as some of these papers are not following the current syllabus and are outdated. :please:
