Oral Exams & some photos!
Dear all,Some important information first!
1. English Oral Examinations [17th and 18th April]
All pupils would have received a 'Tips for Oral Exams' and 'Vocabulary List'. Kindly go through the sets of notes with your child in prepation for the upcoming oral exams.
This is how marks are allocated.
Reading a passage (10 marks)
Picture conversation - Describing a picture (6 marks)
Sight words - Reading 8 out of 15 words (4 marks).
Total (20 marks)
2. Change of Spelling Day
Upon this request by several parents, I have decided to change the Spelling day to THURSDAY. As I understand that Chinese spellings are tough, this arrangement would give children ample time [a day in between] to study for both Spellings.
The remaining spelling days are 20th April, 27th April, 4th May and 11th May.
Some other matters
1. Sports Day
The Couragers had their very first Sports Day last Friday and I hope that they enjoy it as much as I do taking photos of them. Although there can only be medals for the 1st and 2nd positions, most of the children had good sportsmanship and were happy for their winner friends. Of course there were a handful who were very upset and claimed unfairness. As the children are still young, winning and losing becomes very important to them. I hope that, with the help of parents, we are able to instill in children sportsmanship as well as being able to face and overcome difficulties and failures. This would us develop children with character. =)

2. Importance of drinking milk
There was a talk on the importance of drinking milk by HL Company. The children had fun dancing the 'Banana' dance and were treated to packets of milk. We drank the milk in class together. Click here for the photos!
