SO

I think I need to highlight the Conjunction 'so'. The children have learnt to use the word 'so' to join 2 sentences. For example,

The cat was angry. It scratched the little boy.
The cat was angry so it scratched the little boy.

I know that in some of the dictionaries, the examples they have given for 'so' usually comes with a comma (The cat was angry, so it scratched the little boy). However, in the school, we do not require the children to add a comma before 'so'. Please take note of this point. I have also alerted the children about this.

On the other hand, if the children write a comma before the 'so', we will not penalise them too because it is not wrong.

Should you have any enquries about the Grammar items or the SA1, please feel free to clarify with me. I'll try to answer you as clearly as I can. :)

Closer and closer

We're moving very close to our SA1 ! 7 May is the date of the English paper. Are we prepared yet? On the school's part, we ARE very busy in equipping the children with the necessary skills. A lot of worksheets and practice papers are done. The children are beginning to feel the heat. However, I hope the parents and children will not be overly anxious about it. Relax and let the children enjoy themselves amist the preparation.

To back track, we celebrated Rachael's 7th birthday. She got Oreo and Chupa chups lollipops for the little children. It was great! Little treats like these always get our little ones crazy and they will be especially well-behaved just to receive their treats! :) Thanks Rachael! Have a BLESSED 7th birthday :)

You can see that there are less updates in the 1G blog. It's not that there isn't any happenings in the class. It's just that the children are spending their time preparing for SA 1. After the exams, we'll do more fun activities in class. I'll add more entries in their blog too so keep this page bookmarked! :)
