Happy Hols..!! And Some Pointers to Note!! =)

Dear Parents and Children,

A few points to note for the semester end. I've informed
and alerted the children in class today, but it will be good
if you can reinforce these messages to them at home too.

1) The NYPS library has increased the maximum number
of books borrowed by the children to 8 books per student.
Do encourage your child to borrow more books to read, esp
Chinese books. They can keep the books at home over the
hols and return them to the school libray comes the school
reopen for Semester 2 on 29 June. =)

2) On 26 June, Friday, the school will be posting EL, CL and
Maths homework to all the children on LEAD.COM. Please
log onto LEAD.COM on that date and complete and submit
the work online. We will be keeping track of your work! ;p

3) Come first day of school reopen on 29 June, Monday, we
will be conducting the Temperature-Taking exercise again.
So, please do have your thermoter working and ready. =)

4) For Rock and Roll practices during June hols, please check
the 2B class blog regularly for any updates and/or change of
venues if any. The venue will either be the Music Room 1 or
the Dance Room. =)

5) Please bring your Rock and Roll costumes on 15 June or
the subsequent dates if you can't come on 15 June. For our
lovely and beautiful gals, you can bring your ear-rings and
hairband or scarf along too. ;p

6) Since June hols is coming, it's a time of relaxation too for
you!! =) So.. Chinese cartoons, anyone? Every saturday
morning 9am, on Channel 8, they have a new series called
神兵小将. I am sure some of you have heard of it before! =)
Then on 9.30am, there's the evergreen cartoon 小叮当! =)=)
Some of you know it as Doraemon or 哆啦A梦. You can go
for the 三毛 cartoon series too! ;p Hope these Chinese
cartoons will give you joy and laugthers throughout the hols
and at the same time, help you come into more contact with
the Chinese language too! Heehee... =)

Ok, that's so much from me now! Hope you will have a good
rest over the hols and come back refreshed for Semester 2
ahead! =)

Cheers!

waterbottle and some snacks. They will only be having

Maths lessons that day and I've checked with Mrs Jennifer

NYPS Information Sheet dated 20 May 2009

Dear Parents/Guardian
Information Sheet 2009/05/20

ROAD SAFETY

Recently, it has been raining quite frequently in the morning during school arrival time. We have observed and also received feedback from parents that the traffic around the school practically came to a standstill whenever it rained heavily. As the school is located in a residential area with narrow roads, I seek your cooperation and understanding in observing the following road safety rules and practices.

Please be reminded that no parking or waiting is allowed along King’s Road at all times. If you cannot locate your child/ward at Gate A, please make a round trip via Queen’s Road and return to the gate later. By waiting along King’s Road or Coronation Road, you are causing an obstruction and other vehicles will be forced to overtake your vehicle on the other lane against the traffic flow. This is extremely dangerous as our children are crossing the road and will not anticipate vehicles to be travelling against the traffic flow. If you need to come into the school to fetch your child/ward, please park your vehicle at the public car park at Blk 4, Queen’s Road and take a short walk to the school.

Our community wardens and staff are stationed along the road during arrival and dismissal times to direct traffic and help our children cross the road. When you approach them, please drive carefully and follow their instructions. We have a few cases of vehicles brushing against our community wardens and security guards.

Always observe the traffic flow and do not pose a danger to other road users by taking short cuts and travelling against traffic flow. As the traffic flow is slow during peak hours, please be patient and drive carefully. Please do not overtake dangerously when the traffic is held up by parents/guardian stopping to pick up their child/ward. Doing so will endanger your lives as well as the lives of other road users.

Please give way to oncoming traffic especially at the junction of King’s Road and Lutheran Road and try to avoid stopping your vehicle inside the junction of King’s Road and Lutheran Road. If the oncoming vehicles along Lutheran Road cannot clear the junction towards Farrer Road, it will create a tail back all the way to Gate B. This will prevent vehicles along King’s Road from turning into the school as all the roads are linked.

Please do not leave your cars unattended and do not obstruct the gates of our residents. We have received feedback that vehicles were parked outside their gates and the drivers were nowhere to be found.

Wet weather days: All pupils must keep an umbrella or raincoat in the school bag everyday in case of wet weather. Please get your child/ward to put on the raincoat and be ready to alight from your vehicle along the driveway either at the sheltered walkway or meeting point. The school will also deploy additional staff with umbrellas to help out.

Please do not sound the horn unnecessarily or use the horn to signal to your child/ward. Our residents have complained about the inconsiderate horning by our parents.


UPDATE OF TRAVEL PLANS

With the mid-year school vacation around the corner, your child/ward may be travelling overseas for a holiday. Please provide us with the travel details of your child/ward in the form provided and submit it to your form teacher by Friday, 22 May 2009. Should there be any change in your travel plans, please call the General Office at 64672677 or you may drop us an email at nyps@moe.edu.sg to update us with the necessary details.

早报副刊文章分享 - 信心与行为

信心与行为
（2009-05-05）
● 林弘谕

　　身体没有灵魂是死的，信心没有行为也是死的。这句话，在孩子身上得到最好的印证。

　　老大的个性相当潇洒，小事不多管，大事不多问，随遇而安。从小不会要求我们多买什么，包括用的、吃的、穿的。现在16岁了，也是如此，我们想给他添购一件半件“像样”的服饰，他也说没必要，也不问我们要给他买的是什么东西。他经常穿着汗衫、百慕达、人字拖鞋，就这样去逛公司、看电影、打球，去圣淘沙、去图书馆……他充满自信地认为，这是他最佳最舒服的服饰。

　　年轻，就是如此，不给我们为他打点的机会。这也好，省钱。用的吃的也一样，除了因青春发育期，一人可吃两人份的餐食外，其他的都不多求。书包用了好多年，旧了，也不换；鞋子穿破了，他才愿意更新。

　　回头想，父母都曾为孩子这些事操过心；担心他们乱花钱，担心他们追求名牌，担心他们好高骛远。我们对孩子是否有足够的信心，相信他会改变，会有好行为？

　　老大已经好久没玩电脑游戏了。我有点担心，这不是年轻人应该有的“行为”。跟他聊起，他老气横秋地说，那玩意儿挺浪费时间，尤其是自己一个人在房里玩，更是没意思，他觉得好有压力，跟备考时的压力相去不远。我不解。他说，因为玩Warcraft电脑游戏时，得部署、得谋算，得把各方对手击毙，又得防自己被击垮，过程比玩象棋还伤神。原本是让脑袋轻松的游戏，变成一种心理战斗，他最后选择看日本动画系列。他没有完全放弃玩电脑游戏，如此脱节也不好，偶尔他的同学来家里，才看到他们几个男生玩电脑游戏，独乐乐不如众乐乐的那份轻松写意，每个人都受到感染。

　　回头想，其实这也是多年“推波助澜”的心理战；从小就告诉孩子电脑游戏的意义何在，人应利用电脑获益，而非由电脑操控自己的头脑。我们对孩子有信心，他会从电脑游戏中脱困。

　　信心与行为就像树和果。果子固然重要，可是依然要先有健康茁壮的树作为前提。真正的信心是以真实的行为表现出来的。真正的信心要帮助我们应用于每天的生活。如果你以行为表现信心，而不是只用言语，你和接受帮助的人都会得到祝福。

　　养育孩子需要信心，没有信心的人，就会过分担心他的孩子；爱是信心的行为，信心小的人，爱也小。你相信孩子会变好，会有好行为，你内心就会显出无限宽爱，在行为上潜移默化地影响着孩子，最后他的好行为成为你信心最好的凭证。

Prevention of Swine Flu(H1N1) Infection

Dear Children,

One of the ways to protect against swine flu infection is to prevent
its spread. Since the illness occurs through direct contact with
infectious material and respiratory secretions, it is important to
practise good personal hygiene. :)

Take these everyday steps to protect your health:
1. Cover Your Nose and Mouth
2. Wash Your Hands
3. Contain the Spread of Flu
4. Build Up Your Immunity
5. Keep Your Environment Clean

The SA1 is just round the cornner. Do take good care of your health!
Keep in Tip-Top condition for these few weeks ya! And put forth your
best for the coming exam! =)
