Farewell!

Dear all,

As we bid each other farewell at the end of the school year 2012, we will bring with us many memories of the good (and bad) times that we have had with each other. Hopefully, the good memories will last longer. It has been an enriching experience teaching all of you.

For those who have yet to return the report book, please drop it off at the General Office anytime during working hours during these holidays.

Have fun and enjoy the holidays!

Yours sincerely,
Mrs Khan

Revision for Oral Exam

Hi everyone,

The students brought home their listening comprehension books to revise for the oral exam that will be conducted this Friday. I have explained to the class today about the way the exam will be conducted. Please make use of the reading passages and pictures provided in the book to prepare yourselves for the oral exam. Please refer to the oral checklist which I had given you when we were revising for oral during SA1. You can also refer to my earlier blog post about how you can do well for the oral exams, which was put up before SA1. I hope that you found the oral revision that I did with you in pairs in class last week useful as well.

Practice time!

Hi all,

Hope you are enjoying the start of the one week September holiday.

Remember to complete your homework:

English - Revisionary worksheet

Enjoy the holidays!

You may not have won the competition, but by giving your best, you are already winner.
