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

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.

I could not wait to get home to the comfort of an air-conditioned room.

Sing to the Dawn Oral Presentation

Dear Students,

You are to write a script about a character from Sing to the Dawn. You will be having a 1 minute presentation on 11th July Thursday or 12th July Friday. It will be 5% of your CA2 marks.

For example:

Hi fellow friends. Today I will be Father from Sing to the Dawn. Let me tell me more about myself. Recently, I found that Dawan has won the scholarship to the City instead of Kwai. I am like a bull in a china shop. How can Dawan, a girl take the only chance from her own brother? I can’t believe it. I spoke to teacher and he said if Dawan doesn’t go, Kwai will be able to go. Of course, I want Kwai to go as he is a boy and an education will be useful for him. He can help make the village a better place. But I don’t want to hurt Dawan’s feelings. I really don’t know what to do now.

Welcome Back

Homework:

1) Read Sing to the Dawn Chapter 5 & 6
2) Learn Spelling (A - words in commonly misspelled words)

Phrases to Remember 2.0 (5 more days)

Dear Children,

There were many serious accidents that happened in Singapore this year. It will be good for you to read through this essay that I have written.


The Accident 

     The sun baked the ground with a vengeance. The occasional breeze had died down leaving the trees and grass to wither in the scorching heat. Jack trudged home wearily, lugging his heavy back pack. It was Jack’s last day of school for the year and he could not wait to get home to play his computer games in the comfort of an air-conditioned room.

     While Jack was walking along the hectic road to head home, he heard a deafening screech followed by shrieks of terror. It was such a terrible symphony that even deaf Beethoven would be able to hear. Jack turned around and witnessed two cars colliding with each other. The cars were in a total wreck. Glass fragments were shattered all over the road.

     Curiosity took the better of him and he went forth to have a closer look at the accident scene. One of the drivers was bleeding profusely with glass fragments stuck on his forehead while the other got away with other minor cuts on his forehead. A few onlookers rushed forward to help the two casualties. There was a man beside Jack who quickly fished out his phone from his pocket. To Jack’s utter astonishment, the guy was actually calling his friend to inform him about the accident. He was even laughing and joking about the tragic accident. Rage surged in Jack and he drew his breath with a long hiss. “Are you out of your mind? Can you at least do your part and inform the relevant authorities?’ Jack fumed in a loud booming voice.

     Visibly embarrassed by John’s chiding, he quickly hung up on his friend and punched the numbers “999” on his mobile phone. Within minutes, the siren of the police car followed by the ambulance filled the air. Medical assistance was rendered swiftly to the injured. As eyewitnesses, the police rounded the gentleman and John for their statement.

     That night, the news reported that the accident occurred as one of the drivers was beating the red light. Due to his careless act, he collided with another driver, causing the driver to lose a lot of blood which resulted in an eventual death. The reckless driver got his license revoked and was sentenced to five years of jail.

     Jack learnt that one can never escape the arms of justice and we should always be responsible for our own actions. (Important!!!!)
