Email to Parents about Holiday Homework

Dear Parents,

I hope this finds you in good health. As many students have been falling sick in school, I hope that your children will take extra care of themselves and rest well during next week's break.

As the students have the whole of next week free, I have assigned the students the following homework
1) Oral Pictures to Practise
2) Oral Exam Tips (Attached below, students are given a set too)
3) Revision Paper C

Please take time to practise oral reading (newspapers and storybooks - with dialogue), picture description and conversation with your kids.

For conversation, you can ask them simple questions like:
1) Have you help any one before?
2) Do you think children should bring hand phones to school?

The children are required to answer to the question and give examples or share real-life experiences.

I will be with the children all the way for their SA2 and I hope you will be too.

Feel free to email me regarding anything about English!

Will be busy with PSLE English Marking next week but I will response to you within one working day.
Thank you dear parents!

Regards,
Ms Joanne

Opening Phrases

Dear Students,

As the SA2 Paper 1 is due next Wednesday, I would like you to remember one opening phrase today

Index number (EVEN - 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20) Remember this:

Thin veils of clouds hung in the sky. It was hot that even the concrete ground radiated heat. After a long day at school, I trudged home wearily, lugging my heavy backpack. My whole body ached in protest but I forced myself to go on. I could not wait to get home to the comfort of an air-conditioned room.

Index number (ODD - 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21) Remember this:

Beads of perspiration were trickling down my forehead. The sun was so hot that there was a stinging sensation on my skin. After a long day at school, I trudged home wearily, lugging my heavy backpack. My whole body ached in protest but I forced myself to go on. I could not wait to get home to the comfort of an air-conditioned room.

Phrases will be tested as dictation tomorrow!
