Dear Parents,
Today we spent time looking into ideas for writing for Composition 6 (on a competition). We looked into various types of competition that the children could write on (e.g. cooking, singing, games and sports, chess) and reminded the children to use one of the pictures (e.g. to write on one of the pictures shown e.g. sports OR to write on a competition not shown in the picture BUT to ensure that there was the inclusion of the medal, the other picture given). They are to write at least 3 paragraphs and to SHOW and not tell for their writing.

We also explored a good piece of writing on the same topic and discussed how the writer for this piece of writing had made it well-written (from the interesting introduction and good conclusion, to good use of SHOW and not tell, as well as using good vocabulary).

Homework issued was to write Composition 6 on a piece of foolscap paper (and to leave a line after writing on each line) and staple behind the question paper. The children were given a deadline till 7 July to complete, but I will also accept the completed work if they are able to complete by tomorrow. This is to give your child ample time to develop the writing and submit a good piece of work.

We then looked into phrasal verbs for grammar, and will explore more tomorrow. We also listened to a story.

Thank you.

Have a wonderful day!
Ow Yeong (Dr)
