I hope everyone of you has enjoyed your break and are getting yourself ready for the start of school.
Do take note that the school is undergoing renovation works now. So don't be too surprised to see construction equipment around the school and areas that have been cordoned off. Always walk around with your eyes opened and stay clear of areas that are cordoned off for your own safety.
I am looking forward to seeing you again.
I hope you are also looking forward to seeing your classmates and teachers again and getting back to the routine of lessons and learning.

Dear 5F,
Welcome back to school!
It was interesting listening to the things that you did during the holidays. I hope that you had a good break and are ready for school.
Half of the year has past and we will now move a bit faster for Semester 2.
This is because I would like to cover more revision in class to prepare you for P6.
As such, I am going to be more strict on your homework deadlines.
From now on, I will only give pupils with a valid reason (CCA competition in the afternoons, illness and too much tuition homework for that day) a day's grace to hand-in the homework. After that day's grace, any pupil with homework pending will stay behind the next day to complete their work in school. You will need to inform your parents that you will need to stay back in school to finish your homework. If you have CCA after school that day, you will use part of your recess and lunch time to complete your work.
I really hope that all of you will be more diligent in doing your homework on time and doing it properly.
Some matters to note:
- Do Unit 6 Spelling Worksheet corrections and ask parents to sign (latest by Tue).
- Find Term 1 and Term 2 spelling list. Revise the spelling words. I will randomly test any of the words and their meanings with any spelling of the new units this term.
-Bring full scap paper tomorrow.
Hope you had a good Monday! See you tomorrow!

EL Matters - Share Share, Learn Learn, Win Win - Round 1 (1 July)
Dear 5F,
As mentioned in class, we are going to start on a new online activity today.
It will go on for every Friday to Sunday (latest 9 pm). I will share the results the following Monday/ Tuesday.
Let's call this online activity: Share Share, Learn Learn, Win Win [SLW2]
How it works:
Every Friday, I will post a set of questions. The topic for this weekend will be Phrasal Verbs - words we have learnt.
The aim is for everyone to provide their answers (as a comment). [SHARE SHARE]
We can also comment on any incorrect answer. Be nice and tactful. Don't insult anyone please.
By reading each other's answers, we will learn from one another. [LEARN LEARN]
On Monday, I will disclose the correct answers to the class.
I'm hoping that through this activity, we will kill 3 birds with 1 stone: [WIN WIN]
1) Revise the topic
2) Learn from one another
3) Have fun together
If at least 35 pupils in the class respond to the questions in the blog (from Friday - Sunday),
the class will get to play English games for 1 whole period the following Tue or Thur.
Sounds fun? Are you ready for SLW2?

EL Matters and Phrasal Verbs Test Results - 14 July
We had our open-book phrasal verbs test yesterday.
I'm sad to say that we have 13 pupils who failed the test.
These 13 pupils will have to sit for the retest next Mon during recess. If they still fail after that, they will have to stay back during recess from Tuesday to Friday to study for Phrasal Verbs.
I would need parents of these pupils to ensure that they revise for all their class tests.
These class tests are important because they are bite-sized tests that help your child to be prepared for the main exams, (Tip: Study from the previous phrasal verbs test papers, including the most recent open-book test)
They will bring home their test paper today for parents to monitor and sign. I would like to see all test papers signed by tomorrow.
Homework:
- LRD Page 14 Part 1 and 2 (By Tmr)
- Study for Spelling test on Semester 1's words (Tmr)
- Study for Phrasal Verbs test on List 4 (Next Wed)
- 20 pupils have not completed CW5 - A Conflict
Tomorrow is the last day to hand-in. Otherwise, pupils will have to stay back after school to
complete it.
To all parents and pupils who have been reading the class blog on a regular basis, I would like to thank you for your effort in monitoring your child's work and progress. I believe your child benefits greatly from this knowing that you are updated with class matters and homework.

Pictures from NE show
Some memories are happy memories. Others are sad. NE show for this year
is memorable- a shared experience with notable challenges faced.
May we learn from the ordeals of that day and becoming stronger and more understanding people.
Orchid hybridization
A session where pupils learnt how to pollinate an orchid and also learnt the different parts of an orchid flowers.
Pupils also went home with a "Lady of the night" orchid and were briefed
on how to take care of the orchids that blooms well and in large
numbers.
Do remember to water the orchids daily, kids.
EL Matters - 15 July and SLW2 Round 3

I have given out Unit 7 Spelling homework - for you to find the meanings (By Mon).
Please revise for your Phrasal verbs test on list 4 (Next Wed).

Dear Mom and Dad,
I finally got (1) that philosophy class
I was telling you about. It wasn't easy. It's a required course and there is no
way to get (2) it. The professor, Dr.
Schmitt, seems very good, but I think his class is going to be quite a
challenge.
Yesterday was the first day of the course. He gave everyone in the class a
syllabus describing the homework and the exams. I couldn't believe how much he
expects us to do. Several of the students immediately got (3) and
left the room. After they were gone, Professor Schmitt started asking the
remaining students philosophical questions. They all had great answers, but
then he got (4) me. "What is
art?" he asked me. I tried to answer him, but I couldn't get what I wanted
to say (5) to him. He smiled at me and
got three or four art books (6) . He passed
the art books around and asked us to discuss the question in groups. The people
in my discussion group were really great; we all really enjoyed debating the
question. Since we got (7) so well, we
have decided to form a study group, so we can help each other get (8) this
class.
I know my grades haven't been the best, but with the help of this study group I
should be able to get it (9) and do
better this semester. Well, I need to get (10) work
and finish my assignments for tomorrow. Everybody take care, and I'll see you
at Thanksgiving.
Love,
Steve

Dear Mom and Dad,
I finally got (1) into that philosophy class I was telling you about. It wasn't easy. It's a required course and there is no way to get (2) around it. The professor, Dr. Schmitt, seems very good, but I think his class is going to be quite a challenge.

I know my grades haven't been the best, but with the help of this study group I should be able to get it (9) together and do better this semester. Well, I need to get (10) back to work and finish my assignments for tomorrow. Everybody take care, and I'll see you at Thanksgiving.

EL Matters - 18 July
Hope you had a good weekend break.
We are now into week 4 of Term 3. I hope everyone has already adjusted well to the pace of Term 3.
Thank you to the 15 pupils who have managed to post their answers to SLW2 Round 3 on the class blog. I understand that about 12 pupils are experiencing technical difficulties regarding posting comments on the blog. My school's IT technician has confirmed that you would need to set-up a Google account before posting a comment on the blog. If your existing Google account does not work for this, could you please set-up a new account to try again? Thank you for trying your best.
Homework:
- Sign Spelling Book and do corrections (By Tue)
(We have 9 failures. Parents, I would need your help to ensure that your child studies for all their spelling tests and is prepared for them. Thank you.)
- Practice Reading Aloud and SBC in LC Book for Practice 4 and 5 (By Week 6)
- Unit 7 Spelling will be next Friday (29 July). I'm still waiting for 11 pupils to hand-in today's homework so that I can go through the answers tomorrow and return the spelling list back to everyone for you to study.
Reminders:
- Study for Phrasal Verbs test 4 (this Wed)
- EL Remedial will begin this Friday (1.45pm-3.15pm)
Thank you.
=)
