4B's Big Time Rush!

Hey boys and girls!

I'm so excited about our coming dance performance during the Year-end school concert! Are you looking forward to it too?

We have been so busy after SA2 that we did not have many practices so far.
We must put our heads together to think of some new dance steps to replace the 'line-dance steps'.

I hope we can learn all the new steps well and do our best next week during all our practices and rehearsals on stage.

As for dance costume: we will be wearing jeans or pants (as we did during Rainbow Day 4) but we will need to change our T-shirts to more vibrant colours! Let's discuss this in class soon.

Listen to the music and revise the steps at home.

Term 4 is coming to an end soon!

Dear boys and girls of 4B,

Exams' over!
Thank you for studying so hard for SA2!
Well done everyone!
I'm glad to see that most of you have shown improvement in your results!
Keep up the good work!

As you relax and have lots of fun during the coming long school holidays, do plan time to revise your weak topics and to read a lot of books.

This coming Friday (12 Nov) is our school Adm Day and you do not need to come to school for lessons.

I'll be giving all of you a reading passage: Conquering Defeat for you to read for pleasure and to answer some questions about the story online.

There is a post-exams Math reasoning blog for you to try out during your free time.

Enjoy learning and learn to enjoy in an educational way.

Dear boys and girls of 4B!



Well done!
You have performed wonderfully on Rainbow Day 4!
Your dance - Big Time Rush was marvellous!
Thanks for your diligence and perseverance in all practices and rehearsals.
I was especially delighted to see many of you helping your friends to revise the dance steps and you have also helped to ease your friends nervousness just before the show time.
You have indeed learnt to care for one another and have worked cooperatively in this event.
Keep up the class spirit!



Learn to transfer this enthusiasm and passion into your studies.
Now, focus on learning and revising your school work as SA2 is coming soon.
You may wish to form study groups to do homework and revision together.
