Dear children,

We had some practice today on using the connectors "so", "and", "but" and "because" to connect sentences. We also discussed the past tense forms of some irregular verbs like "cut", "buy", "bite" and "think". Do you still remember what is special about irregular verbs? How are they different from regular verbs? :)

For more practice on the irregular verbs we learnt today, go to this Quizlet link and play with the flashcards there: http://quizlet.com/46450352/flashcards

Move from one flashcard to the next by using the two arrows at the bottom of the screen. Click on a flashcard to flip it from its word's present tense to its past tense. You can try the 6 different modes available - Cards, Learn, Speller, Test, Scatter and Race - by selecting them from the top of the screen.

I realised that I did not post the list of Super Spellers for the previous spelling yesterday. Here it is:

Zhi Zong, Amelie and Zane from Toothless

David and Natalie from Phoenix

Isaac, Phoebe and Luke from Hobbit

Seth, Jonathan and Vanessa from Impossibles

Risa and Raeann from Candy

Ashley from Nameless

Christian from Genius

These children earned two ice-cream sticks each for their groups.

Tomorrow and Friday will be the last two days that you will be able to earn ice-cream sticks for your group for August. Are you interested to know the number of ice-cream sticks your group has earned so far? Here it is:

Hobbit has been secretly leading! Will Hobbit continue to be the leading group over the next two days? Let's see! :)

Here are today's reminders:

1) You would have received your English Language Test today. Show it to your parents so that they can rejoice together with you! Ask for a signature. If there are re-corrections to be completed, complete them. Bring back your test paper tomorrow for me to check.

2) Your red Composition File is to be submitted on Friday. If there are still corrections and re-corrections that are not marked, please complete them. Check your work before submitting. I hope I will not have to go after anyone for incomplete corrections or re-corrections.

3) If you did not submit your Time booklets to me today for checking, submit them tomorrow.

4) We will be having our art lesson on Friday. If you have not bought plasticine, please do so before Friday. You will need enough plasticine to make a tile of about 8 cm by 10 cm.

5) Mr Lee found a school skirt outside the hall after your P.E. lesson with him. If it belongs to you, please collect it from me tomorrow.

See you tomorrow! :)
