Racial Harmony Celebration

Parent Volunteers Needed at NYPS's CL Pictorial Corner

Parent Volunteers Needed!

Chinese Pictorial Book Corner of NYPS has finally finished its STOCK-TAKING!

From next week onwards, all Parent Volunteers of CL pictorial book corner and teachers of NYPS are allowed to borrow the pictorial books out of the library. We have about 1000 Pictorial Books in the library and another 300 new books coming in 2 weeks later. We always update the corner with new books freshly imported in from countries such as China and Taiwan.

*NOTE: Only Parents who are helping out at the Pictorial Book Corner are allowed to borrow the books out of the library.

The pupils are still unable to borrow the books out of the library as the books are still relatively new and expensive. We may look into the probability of enabling the pupils to borrow these books out of the library from next year onwards when we managed to find parent volunteers who can help out with the administrative work.

Currently, we need 1-2 Parent Volunteer who can help us facilitate the borrowing and returning of CL Pictorial books in and out of the library. With your help, the pupils can therefore borrow and return the books in and out of the library.

Although we have a librarian in the library, she is unable to help out as her job scope does not require her to handle matters of the CL Pictorial Book Corner. The books from the CL Pictorial Book Corner are also not recorded into the library system.

Therefore, we would like to appeal for Parent Volunteers who are willing to help out as a librarian of the library, and facilitate the borrowing and returning of Pictorial Books. Your job is to help take down names and contact numbers of those who came to borrow/return Pictorial Books and remind them of the date of return. Also, you may have to track down those who have forgotten to return the books before the deadline.

Working time is flexible. You may report to the library at 8.30am and leave at 12pm sharp from Monday-Friday. If we manage to find more parent volunteers, we may look into staggering your schedule so that you may not have to report to the library 5 days a week.

There is no requirement for you to speak fluent mandarin.

If you are interested to be part of us, please kindly email me at lim_ke_xin@nyps.edu.sg or call me in school to find out more. You may also go to CL Pictorial Blog: http://www.nypshbg.blogspot.com/ to find out more.

Looking forward to your kind support :)
Cheers,
林可欣老师

Dear parents,

Introducing two members to P2 teachers' Team!

With Mr Fei's positive attitude and the appointment of Ms Low as a teacher mentor to him, the school is confident that the pupils in 2F and 2K will have a smooth learning transition in the change of Chinese Language teacher. The pupils will also learn and benefit greatly from learning Chinese language with different teaching pedagogies under Mr Fei.

Ms. Lim holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education, specialising in teaching English. She is a trained teacher with 4 years of teaching experience. She has been co-teaching together with Mrs Lynn Lee in 2H and 2K since April this year. Before Ms Zhou Jing left NYPS, she has also spent time briefing Ms. Lim on the dynamics of the class and things to take note of. This ensures a smoother transition for the pupils when Ms. Lim takes over the class officially when school reopens.

Mr Fei's email will be fei_meng@nyps.edu.sg . Ms. Lim's email will be rebecca_lim_ching_ling@nyps.edu.sg.

南洋小学绘本馆－制作母亲节卡片

两个星期前，由Susan Dhing（绘本馆家长义工）带领的家长义工团队，于绘本馆举行了一次母亲节卡片制作活动，让学生能够亲手为伟大的母亲制作漂亮的卡片。

学生吃饱了后，便到绘本馆听林福来老师讲故事，然后利用剩余的时间动手制作精美的卡片。你看，他们专注的神情多么可爱！

家长义工提供纸张及各种文具，帮忙同学一起设计卡片。你们看这些二年级的学生多么认真！

一年级的同学也正在认真地制作，希望能给亲爱的妈妈一份母亲节惊喜:)

孩子们都费了不少功夫，把卡片完成。

他们学会了共用一套文具及互相分享的喜悦。

我们年纪虽小，却能够在老师的指导下完成卡片！你说，棒不棒？

这是我精心设计的心型卡片！希望妈妈会喜欢:)

高年级的学生也前来参与这项活动。

我喜欢这项意义非凡的活动！

四年级的男同学也到绘本馆一起进行制作。他们好害羞啊！

学生的成品。你们觉得如何？:)

相信他们的母亲看到了孩子精心制作的卡片后，都会感动不已！

Dear Parents,

Please kindly note that the P1 & P2 Meet The Parents Session has been postponed to

Thank you very much for your understanding. Have a great day!

各位敬爱的家长，

我校刚于去年底成立了绘本馆，目前绘本馆已购入大约1000多本书，供孩子阅读。

今年每班二年级学生将有幸于华文课时（每周两节课），由老师带入绘本馆，进行绘本导读与相关的绘本活动，如写写画画、制作书签等。优秀的作品将被展示出来，供其他同学欣赏。

由于老师的工作已相当繁重，我们急需一批家长义工的帮忙。

家长义工的主要工作如下：

1）在三个休息时间陪学生进行阅读活动，以及播放有声书给孩子们观赏。（老师们会提供你们与绘本相关的问题及字卡，以减轻家长义工的负担）
2）如果家长团能在下课后帮忙（1.20PM以后），那就真是太好了。

家长义工的要求如下：

1）能说流利的华语
2）对阅读教学有兴趣
3）能读故事给孩子听
4）能从9.20AM－11.20AM到图书馆帮忙
（我们将依他们的时间分配他们的工作，也就是说，家长义工团无须每天报到。一星期大概来1－2天）
5）能一直帮忙到5月中或年尾

若您有兴趣，也觉得自己能够胜任以上的工作，请别再迟疑。

现在就电邮您孩子的华文老师，表示对以上活动有兴趣。您的大力协助将帮助孩子提高阅读兴趣，以及建立一个健康的阅读风气。谢谢！

Dear all,

Pls be informed that there will be a Class Photo Taking Session this coming Wednesday to Friday.

Pupils are reminded to wear their school uniform and class monitors are reminded to wear their sashes for the photo taking session.

Your child's form teacher will inform your child about the day of the photo shoot.

There is also a food donation drive from this wednesday till friday. All pupils are encouraged to bring a food item to donate for the less fortunate. They can either pass the food item to the General Office or give to their form teacher.

This is a meaningful activity and will teach children on the importance of giving. Please kindly take this opportunity to educate your child.

Some important updates:

1) Fire drill practise will be held this coming Thursday, 28th January, for the P1 and P2 children.

2) Form teachers are currently calling for 2 Parent Class Representatives from each class. Parents who are interested, please kindly drop an email to your child's form teacher asap. Thank you for volunteering to help! :)

Dear parents,

Yesterday, 2A-2F pupils have their first eat together session in class and they were all very well-behaved. Most of the pupils were very appreciative of the food that was given to them and greeted the teachers and peers before digging in. This is the kind of traditional values we hope to instil into the children, so they learn to respect their elders and friends.

A handful of pupils were rather reluctant to try the vegetables initially. However, after much encouragement and persuasion from the teachers (not to waste food), they ate it and enjoyed it thoroughly. Great job teachers & P2 pupils! :)

Photos will be uploaded soon :)

For your information, CNY Spring Cleaning will be carried out in 12th Feb, Friday, during the last two periods. Pupils are required to bring a rag along and do simple cleaning up of the classrooms.

We will be having our CNY celebration after our CNY holiday break, which falls on 18th Feb, Thursday. Pupils will be asked to bring mandarin oranges and come in traditional chinese costume (if they have). It will definitely be a good CNY celebration with teachers and peers! Yeah!

More details will be updated again. Meanwhile, i certainly hope all children are enjoying their time in P2. Take care. :)

Dear Parents,

In an effort to enhance our pupils learning of Chinese Language, a 8 week after school program to introduce idioms to the pupils as well as strengthening their oral skills will commence in week 3. Please refer to the table below for the schedule:

2A – 2F Monday 2-3pm

Please note that lunch will be provided. In conjunction with the school’s emphasis on the importance of recycling, we seek your kind cooperation by equipping your child with 1 spoon, 1 lunchbox and 1 plastic bag so they can have lunch in the classroom once per week. Pupils will bring home their utensils to wash.

If your child is unable to attend the enrichment classes due to other commitment, please kindly inform your child's form teacher so that prior arrangement can be made for your child to join another class on another day.

Please ensure that your child’s name and class is clearly labelled on the lunchbox as well as on the utensils. Pupils who are on halal diet will be provided with a separate menu. As for pupils who are vegetarians, they will be provided with meal that does not contain any meat. However, if you are worried that your child may be hungry after the meal, you may prepare additional light snacks for him/her.

Pupils who are taking school bus at 4pm will be brought to the library. They will be taken care of by teachers on duties.

Do note that you will be paying for the enrichment class and it will be included in the co-curricular activities payment.

If you have any queries, please contact your child’s Chinese teacher. Lastly, we look forward to your child having an enjoyable lunch time with teachers and peers!
