13 May 2016

Dear Parents,

Today we started the Literature Programme for P5. We reviewed the book 'Sing to the Dawn' and I got the children to do self-paced e-learning (comparing and contrasting the book and the animated movie that was made based on the book title). They are encouraged to have finished reading the book and to take note of differences between the book and the movie in terms of characterisation and storyline.

I will be going through in detail and show your child (and review) Paper 2 on Monday, and also advise your child to do the necessary corrections.

No homework issued today as the children had just completed their examinations this week.

Thank you.
Have a wonderful weekend!
