Knowledge-building Lesson

We had a Knowledge-building (KB) lesson in the computer lab this morning. Since last week, we have been working in groups to write our composition on Fire. We then read through the compositions written by various groups on the Knowledge Forum website and chose the composition that we like. You may read the comments posted by your peers at your free time.




Parent Briefing Session

It was nice meeting some of your parents last Saturday!

Here are some answers to the commonly asked questions:

1. The Literature programme for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will begin after examination. Pupils will need to complete reading the book before the commencement of the programme.

2. Do refer to the Listening Comprehension book for oral practices. The practices will be a good preparation for the examination. So far, we have done some reading and Stimulus-based Conversation practices in class and we will have more practices this week. There are also activities to better prepare for the examination on MConline. Do look them up at the Oral Section (New Format).

3. On 4th May (Week 7), we will be having our Paper 1 examination (composition writing). Composition files will be given back by this week for revision. As we cannot anticipate (predict) what the composition will be about, it is good to revisit some of the notes, words and phrases given as revision instead.

4. Some parents have raised their concerns regarding the weight of school bags. Do remember to pack your school bag according to your timetable. For example, if there is no Science lesson on a particular day, there is no need to bring Science books to school. As lockers are not provided in school, it is important that you pack your bag according to the timetable so that your school bag is not too heavy. Teachers will try their best to keep your books in the shelves if they can.
