English updates

Dear parents,

1. Practice paper 2
5E has just finished a class practice for Paper 2 (Booklet A & B). Some areas for improvement students need to work on:
  • Thorough checking would mean no leaving of blanks, checking of tenses and spelling
  • Check the number of questions on the booklet with the OAS paper that was shaded

 2. Mock paper
Although there is no CA1 for English, we will have a mock paper in week 9. Please revise the notes for reported speech and words we have gone through during spelling tests.

3. Spelling & Dictation
Spelling and (unseen) dictation will take place on alternate weeks. As 5E has Chinese spelling on Wednesdays, they will now have English spelling on Tuesdays. The upcoming one is next Tuesday, 21 Feb. Students were informed two weeks ago.

4. Oral E-learning – Reading aloud Practice
Oral e-learning is uploaded on Google Classroom every Tuesday. Students are to practise on their own. They should check for pronunciation of consonants and word-stress patterns. Once they are done, please click ‘mark as done’ so I know that they have practised. Please refrain from commenting unnecessary remarks on the Google Classroom wall unless students have issues or queries.

5. Re-corrections

Students will stay during recess to complete any outstanding re-corrections. They may stay after school to consult me if necessary. 


Regards, 
Ms Sarina
English Teacher of 5E
