16 July 2015 (Thursday)

Dear children,

We applauded Enrui and Samir today when they received their prizes during Assembly for their outstanding posters for the Non-Teaching Staff Appreciation Day Poster Design Competition. Sujith's poster won him a consolation prize too. The three of them have surely done our class proud with the effort they put in! :)

With the little time we had together today, we discussed ideas for a composition about Animal Abuse. After we had spent time studying the question properly and brainstorming for some ideas, we looked at a sample story and analysed how the writer described the characters' feelings and actions by "showing and not telling". Then, we also analysed the sample story using our usual Story Mountain Planner to learn how we could plan our own stories with it.

If you would like to take a second look at what we came up with together as a class, you may click on this link: http://personal.crocodoc.com/z1H5Hyj

Have you updated your group's blog this week to share your plant's progress with the rest? Please do so if you have not.

Don't forget to refer to your handbook too.

Have an enjoyable weekend with your family. See you on Monday! :)

    1. Alden, you are supposed to plan your own story. The above is just a guide and not for you to copy.

    1. Ethnic attire can be worn on Thursday -- the day we will be celebrating Racial Harmony Day in school.
