March holiday update

Dear children,

How's the start of the school holiday feel so far?
While you are playing hard (and working hard too!), let us remember what we are tasked to do over the 1-week break:

ENGLISH
1) Click HERE find the answers to your Topical Test 1. Please complete corrections at home before bringing it back to school on the 21 March, with parent's signature obtained. Do take the initiative to find out the meaning of unfamiliar words and write it down, particularly to Section A - Vocabulary. Most words are actually from Unit 1 - 3.

2) HW: Continuous Writing "A Traffic Accident"
We have done a plot diagram to brainstorm for story ideas in a sequential manner. From there, a basic class story has been crafted out for you, and most of you agreed that the story is simplistic (lack of connectors, adverbs, descriptive phrases and most sentences start with the characters' names or pronouns.)

So, we edited 2 paragraphs from the basic story and many of you had a clearer idea on how can we make a story more interesting with adverbs of manner (How) and descriptive phrases. [SHOW, not tell]

Sadly, due to time constraints, we could not edit the whole story. So you wonderful children gave me your word you will read the edited story I've given to you (I've underlined the edited part) and highlight the adverbs, at the very basic. I hope you did not forget that.

After going through the 3 pieces of worksheets you should have, THEN you will start working on your individual writing. You can follow the class story line or edit some parts, such as the introduction and climax. But do not forget to include what you have learnt, which is how do we make a story more interesting with adverbs and descriptive phrases. Underline these adverbs and phrases you have included. It is NOT copying the class writing, or just changing the characters' names.

3) Term 2 Spelling List
The spelling list has been given out. Do make sure you have copied down the spelling dates. They can start learning a few during the holidays.

SCIENCE
1) Green file has been returned for your revision. Do file your Science test and update the content page.

I will collect it when school reopens.

With that, have a great March holiday!
