Acrostic Poem - EDP Book Week

Great job! 4B! I was very encouraged to receive so many of your acrostic poems entries for our Book Week in Term 1 Week 10!

I've selected 3 pupils' poems for library display and the rest of your poems have already been pinned up in our class notice board. Do read them during your free time!

Here are 3 of your great acrostic poems:

Books are the best for learning. They
Open up your mind and they are full
Of facts. Books fill up your life with
Knowledge.
(Jonathan Tan 4B)

Reading is fun! Come on
Everyone! Let’s read!
As reading is great,
Do read everyday!
In your life,
Never neglect reading. Let’s
Get started today!
(Sheyenne Ang 4B)

Library
Is the
Best place for
Reading
And
Research for
Your information needs.
(Bimei 4B)

I'm so proud of all of you!

English Alternative Assessment

Dear parents and 4B children,

As there was no formal CA1 for P4 this year, we have more time to involve the pupils in groupwork and project. Since last week, pupils have been working in their groups to research for information on animals to write their information report. Most of them went online to 'google' the necessary information while a few went to the library to search for non-fiction books.

In their respective groups, pupils have to work together to create powerpoint presentations! I saw group members helping one another; I also witnessed conflicts within groups and I have observed how the pupils managed to resolve their differences. I'm very proud of all of you!

Today, we had our oral presentations. Pupils were expected to stand in front of the class to present their powerpoint slideshows. I'm very delighted to see each and every one of them trying their best to present their projects confidently! Great effort! Keep it up!

Next, pupils need to do a self evaluation on their contributions to the groupwork. They are to reflect upon their working habits and team spirit.

I very glad that all of you have fared well!
