Dear 5F,

I have returned both your LC and Paper 2 (Booklets A and B) exam scripts for you to bring home.

Please show them to your parents so that they can look through it thoroughly and then sign.

As I have not finished going through the Comprehension open-ended section of Booklet B, please bring Booklet B back tomorrow.

I will start collecting back your exam scripts (after signing) from tomorrow onwards.

Last day for collection of exam scripts will be this Friday.

After completing our filing for all remaining worksheets, I will return ALL your EL worksheets and Compositions to you for safekeeping and revision for next year's big exam - PSLE.

So please do NOT throw away any of your worksheets.

See you tomorrow!

I hope to see an improvement.

Parents, please look through your child's work and sign the practice paper.
Do speak with your child if he/ she needs to put in more effort in their homework.

EL Matters - 5 Oct

Dear 5F,

Happy Children's Day to all of you!

Here's a simple poem for you to enjoy:

When the sun rises in the morning, 
I open my eyes to see
The time on my clock is showing
That I'm late for school
Oh blimey me!

I zip out of bed in a daze
And trip and land on my face
Now I'm definitely awake
From the knock on my head
I limp and clamber hastily

I decided not to brush my teeth
To save myself a few minutes.
A quick pee and a splash
I'm off like The Flash
To change and run away like the wind

When I finally reached the school gate
Something was amiss
The school was a deadly silence
My heart grew anxious
I stared at the guard who gave me a grin, and said...

Boy/ Girl, it's Friday
Happy Children's Day
Go home to play
I didn't dare say
How embarrassed I was
And ran off with my face all red that day




Homework:

 - Do SW 12 corrections (By next Mon)

- Do Synthesis and Transformation Revision Wkst Page 1 - 4 (By next Mon)

- Bring full scap paper next Mon

See you next Monday!

The Vietnam War

Video 1

Questions to think about:

- Could the war have been avoided?

- Could the war have been shorter?

- Could the USA have used another means to helping South Vietnam against the communist invasion from the North?

- What can USA do now to help people who are still suffering from the effects of the Vietnam War?

- If you had lived through the Vietnam War and are one of those affected by the after-effects of the war (illness/ loss of family/ poor), how would you choose to live your life/ the rest of your life?
