Happy Good Friday Weekend

Dear all,

Look for updates over the next few days as we enter the long weekend break.

I will look to answer as many questions as I can posed by all of you. Thank you for the overwhelming number of questions. Parents. just to update you all. By encouraging the students to take pride in their learning, I set up a small santa hat at the front of the classroom. Students can then post their questions on slips of paper and leave it in the hat. I will then answer their questions to clarify their doubts and aid their learning. In this way, whatever questions they might have, they can pose it through the little slips of paper. In the classroom, it is impossible to answer every question that students might have. As such, this is one good way instead of just keeping the question to oneself and not having it answered.

Students, remember that you can also ask your parents, siblings or tuition teacher for help too if you have any questions! :)

Next 2 groups for presentation of newspaper articles: Team Terry & Team Ven Dean.

Today's newspaper article presentation was interactive and well presented. Remember to take some time each day to do some reading. Oral examinations will begin on the 23rd and 24th April for all P5s. It is time to start practising. Next week onwards, I will look at spending time to help all of you practise.

Strategy for Picture description:

D - Describe the setting and introduction.

I - Interpret the feelings and actions of the characters.

E - Elaborate on the events and characterizations

O - Offer your own opinion and feelings.

Confidence is important to scoring well. I noticed that alot of you are afraid to speak up and are rather soft when it comes to reading. Have confidence and never doubt yourself. Believe in doing well and that will be half the battle won!

For now, Happy good friday and easter sunday!

Thank You,
Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
