Arthur's family vacation

Dear children,

Did you enjoy the story titled "Arthur's family vacation"?

The story: School's out! Arthur and his pal Buster are looking forward to plenty of thrills at Camp Meadowcroak this summer. Unfortunately, Arthur's parents have something different in mind: a family vacation. No amount of pleading can change their mind. They head for the beach and encounter the usual assortment of vacation pitfalls, including bad traffic, multiple potty stops, a subpar motel room, and, worst of all, rain. Luckily, Arthur and his little sister D.W. make a conscious effort to bolster everyone's attitude. They suggest plenty of ways to enjoy family time away from home, making the whole clan feel much better.

I hope you will continue to keep up the gooding reading habit found in you. There are many interesting books out there in the libraries.

Thank you.

I love all of you!

With lots of love,
Ms Lau

Reading

Dearest precious kids,


I am very delighted and encouraged to see most of you borrowing books from the NLB and also from our own school library. The libraries really stock up wonderful books. Do make use of them. You can find Arthur's books in Tampines library too.


Reading is one way of obtaining information. You can read the newspapers if you have them at all.

One of the photos shows the pupils listening to an online story. I love it when they are totally engrossed in it!

Drawing on egg shells 1

Dear beloved children,

How was the Art lesson yesterday? I hope you really enjoyed the fun of drawing on the egg shells. Some of you were so creative. You drew a happy face on one side and a sad face on the other side. That is so creative! There was this pupil, he drew a young face but when he turned the egg upside down, an old face is seen. That is so unique! But unfortunately, som of you had applied too much pressure while holding onto the eggs, thus causing your eggs to crack into pieces. But it is alright. You had fun in the process!

Below was some photographs taken during the lesson.

Lots of love,
Miss Lau

Hello children,

We will be having our art lessons on Thursday instead of Tuesday. What are we going to do? As Easter Day is around the corner, we are going to draw on the egg. Please make a small hole at the top of the egg and drain the egg out. Wash it clean and bring it to school. Please get an adult to help you with it.

Finally, here is a story titled, "Frogwart and the easter eggs".

Be thankful for the things you have

Dear precious children,

Did you remember what Mrs Ng say this morning? She said we must be thankful for the things we have. She also stated 5 things for which she is very thankful for.

Be Thankful

1. Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?Be thankful when you don't know something,for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

2. Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.Be thankful when you're tired and weary,because it means you've made a difference.

3. It's easy to be thankful for the good things.A life of rich fulfillment comes to those whoare also thankful for the setbacks.Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,and they can become your blessings.

Do spend some time each day to count your blessings.

Love you,

Miss Lau
