Dear Parents,

The children learnt vocabulary and pointers related to Paper 2 when I went through revision paper 1. Those who had not completed their mconline assignments were advised to complete by this weekend. The children also received their homework - revision paper 3 as it is a good practice for paper 2.

Thank you.
Have a good day.

Today, we continued with our filing for our writing file. The children brought the file back with a set of homework (due this Friday 8 April) - situational and continuous writing - to see if they had read and taken note of the feedback, and has taken the advice given, as well as what was learnt in class (for Situational - to follow the given letter format, and to re-tell what was given, and for Continuous - to remember to SHOW and not tell).

They had taken notes previously on how to write well.


Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!

They are to
A) go through writing buddy tutorial 1 and 2 on 'strong introductions' and to take notes in their learning log.
B) prepare for dictation ( postponed till tomorrow) based on 'Space Junk' Stellar reader.

We ran out of time to go through homework worksheets done so will do that tomorrow before collecting.

The children are to bring their ezi link card tomorrow as well to borrow books from the National library.

Thank you.
Have a good day.
