2. Tomorrow , please remember to put your bag in class first. Take along with you the following items to the basketball court.
- Grammar 2 WS (under your table)
-A storybook
-Your pencil box
-Your waterbottle

3. Some tips for the oral.

• - When you are given the time to look at the picture (before the tester calls you), think of the possible questions that the tester may ask you. DO NOT WASTE TIME.

For example: A picture on places of interest in Singapore
Possible questions: Which one is your favourite place? Why or Why not?
                                What other place of interest have you visited? Tell me about it

• - Remember the Answer Reason Experience.

     >(ANSWER). Refrain from just answering Yes or No. Answer in full sentence.
        For example: "My favourite place is the Underwater World"

     > (REASON)It will be good if you can state more than one reason.
        For example: "I love to go to the Underwater World because .... I enjoyed coming here also   
        because......"
      ** If you are lack of ideas on what to say, begin by saying about your feelings. I love it because I
           felt very happy and excited...... (Then slowly, you build up your ideas based on what you see, hear, touch, smell depending on the topic)
    > (EXPERIENCE). You may begin with these sentence starters to help you.
        " I remembered few years ago..."
        " When I was in Primary 1, ...."

•  - To lengthen the conversation, remember not to just talk about one picture. It would be great if you reason out why you do not choose the other pictures. For example (if Night Safari is one of the pictures): " I do not like to go to the Night Safari because I am scared of darkness...

•  - End off your conversation with the question asked. For example: "Among all the places, my favourite place would be ....."

I hope these tips are useful for you. All the best dearies!

P2 EL Oral Test next week

Dear 2C,

Next Thursday (22 September) is your P2 English Oral Test.

Remember to use the structure of A,R,E ( this is shared previously. look at the blog entry in April)

A: ANSWER the question that the tester is asking
R: Give REASON for the answer
E: Share your EXPERIENCE related to the topic.

We will have a practice in class to prepare you for the test. At the same time, attached below is an oral practice that you can do at home as a practice with your parents.

Prompts
a) Look at the picture. Which one of the CCAs do you find interesting? Why?


Sample Response

Among all, I think the Fitness and Games Club caught my attention .

I am an active person  and dislikes sitting still for too long.. This CCA is also good for me as sports is good for my mind and body. This CCA also teaches me how to work in team and so this CCA is the best for me.

Whenever I am free, I like to go roller blading around my estate. During weekends, my parents would often play a game of badminton with my brother and me or take us for a swim. These activities keep my body healthy and strong.So, I think I would enjoy taking part in the Fitness and Games club.

Math update on fraction!

Dear 2C,

The topic on fraction has come to an end. But one challenging area for you is on
comparing fractions.
There are 2 kinds of fractions, like fractions(same denominators) and unlike fractions(different denominators)

So when you compare like fractions, remember to look at the numerator only. The bigger the numerator, the bigger the fraction.

On the other hand, when you compare unlike fractions, remember to look at the denominator. The bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction. Simply said, 'The more you share, the smaller you get'

Continue practising comparing fractions. Drawing it out will definitely help you to understand and visualise better.
These pictures below are one of the practices you did in class to ensure you know how to draw fractions to make comparison.
