English. 4th August 2011.

Dear Parents,

I'm sure you would have heard the news by now that the Presidential Elections will be held on Saturday, 27th August 2011 and consequently, the following Monday, 29th August will be a holiday in lieu. As such, we will be looking at a hectic few weeks ahead (possibly only about 11 days of lessons over 4 weeks) with 2 more units to complete for English amidst all those holidays. Hang on tight for the ride!

To keep you in the loop, I will be away from school tomorrow as I am involved in the school musical. Rest assured that the boys will be given some tasks to complete.

Also, there is an AMODES test on comprehension scheduled for next Thursday. I am pleased to inform you that it has been postponed to Friday. This will give me more time to review certain things with them when school resumes next week. Meanwhile, the weekly spelling test will be carried out on Thursday, 11th August.
Today, we learnt about quantifiers (eg. all, whole, much, many & lots) and contractions. The boys have been assigned two activities as homework.
1. Learning sheet 14.3
2. Comprehension book pages 120-122

On a separate note altogether, I would like to thank you for your compliments and encouragement pertaining to the supplementary sheets I created for your son :) You might have noticed that the sheets are numbered 13.2, 13.4, 13.7 and 13.8 - instead of 13.1, 13.2, etc. This is to correspond to the learning sheets given earlier, in order to aid the revision process. Hope it helps!

Best regards,
Miss Nurul
