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.

Lower Pri Sports Day

Hi everyone,

Who knew we had so much sporting talent amongst ourselves? 3A has done very well in the Lower Primary Sports Day today! 3 out of the 4 groups who took part won the GOLD medal! We are very proud of them. For the group that did not manage to win, it's alright. Please do not be sad about it. You may not have won the competition, but by giving your best, you are already winner.
Here are the pictures of the Lower Primary Sports Day:
































We also celebrated Teacher's Day. Thank you everyone for your wonderful cards and presents. I love being "showered with love" by all of you.

EL Topical Test 9

Hi all,

Today we brainstormed for our compositions using story arcs. I also gave you a news article to help you pick out some interesting words which you can use in your compositions. Understanding that you need time to revise for your topical test tomorrow, I have given you a longer deadline to hand in the composition. You are to hand in the composition on Tues, 21 Aug.

Don't forget to revise for the English Topical Test 9, which will be tomorrow, 15 Aug based on The Perfect Birthday Present. I have returned the learning sheets to you since yesterday for you to revise.
