English Unit Review 4 and National Day announcements

Important Announcements: 
(as made in the class on 7-August):

1) English Unit Review 4 was given out. Please complete the corrections (for those who were not in school).
We have done not as well as before. The average mark is at 72.6% as compared to UR3 where we stood at an average of 76.8%.

The synthesis component is one major factor that pulls down the marks. We have to be very careful when completing this component.

The other component -- Open ended comprehension. For this section, some answers were not given full marks. We have to answer the questions directly which is not an easy task for some of them.

Nevertheless, the learning points are more important. Reading for understanding is crucial for open-ended comprehension. For synthesis. It is quite similar to doing Maths exercise. We need to do, re-do, and practice more on Synthesis.


2) Composition - The second piece of composition given out was much written as compared to the first one. We need more practice, and I'll try to see if we can have composition writing every 1-2 weeks.
To all: Please re-write your composition as corrections. For those whom I have approached you to type out your composition, I am looking forward to seeing your composition pinned up at the back of the wall. :)

3) Spelling - we'll continue Spelling next Tuesday. Please come prepared. For the extra words, we are still at these words below:
a) immediately
b) an ambulance
c) porridge
d) stomachache
e) hospital
f) grimaced in pain


4) Maths: we are running a bit out of time, we may increase the pace for the learning of Money as there are 2 school holidays next week. Please kindly be prepared and come ready.

5) Extra supplementary lessons: Do note that we only have lessons next Tuesday and Wednesday.  Thursday's lesson will be re-shuffled to Tuesday.

Happy National Day. :)

No homework was given yesterday to celebrate the National Day.


Cheers,

National Day Songs

Dear all,

For the national day celebrations on 8th August, please remember to bring a Singapore flag. For those without a flag, you can make your own flag.

Parents are not invited officially as we do not have sufficient space with the upgrading going on. However, if you would like to join in with us, please join us together on that day too! :) Look forward to seeing everyone on the day. You are highly encouraged to come to school in a red shirt and p.e shorts.

We also need to practise singing those National Day songs. Other than Home, we need to know how to sing these songs: munnaeru vaalibaa 
Xiao ren wu de xin sheng  (lyrics) another URL with lyrics and Chinese words, Chan Mali Chan (lyrics)

Thanks/regards,
