They have displayed well in P(Phrasing).A(Articulation).I(Intonation).R(Rhythm). Please refer to your Oral Exercise Book to learn more about P.A.I.R. Most important of all, their readings was clear and loud so that the oral examiner would be able to hear from where he or she is sitting. I hope you will learn to read like them.
You can now listen to their oral. After buffering, you have to wait about 30 seconds before you could hear their voices. be patient.Elyas and Jeslyn recordings will be uploaded later.

Thursday, 11th September was Magdelene Lee's last day of school as her family is migrating to US. We held a small farewell party for her and her mum was very kind to provide us with drinks and snacks while I bought a small cake for her. Since our classroom was going to be used for the PSLE Listening Comprehension on Friday, we were asked to use the Computer Lab 3. We ate outside the Computer Lab instead. Nevertheless, we had an enjoyable time during the farewell party. I managed to take some pictures for all of us to remember. I hope Magdelene will adapt well in America and learn many interesting things there. She will be missed by everyone that knows her especially 4 care pupils and the teachers. I hope you like the little present that i chose for you. Thank you for the bookmarks you have given to the class. The class also prepared a Farewell Card (designed by Rachel Chua) for all of us to write a few parting words.

The training for Maths Olympiad in 4 care began very early in January. Lim Jeck(NUS High) and Clarence Sim(Hwa Chong) have kindly agree to lend a helping hand to become assistant coaches to me in coaching the pupils of 4 care in their maths olympiad. Hopefully, by P6, the pupils of 4 care will achieve as many Maths Olympiad Distinctions and have a higher chance to enter their dream school. This term, we will have new members joining the Maths Olympiad who are pupils from 4 courage, creativity, diligence and honesty.Welcome to the Club, guys!

Mrs Shahrin accompanying Sheena in the canteen. Sheena enjoying her meal on her first day of school.
The class was sad that Valenia transfered to another school because she wanted a school near to her house. However, the class was all smile again when we found out that a pupil who had gone to China had come back to Singapore to continue her studies in 4 Care!All of us were very excited and could not wait to meet her! on the 2nd week of term 3, after the group of China pupils left, Shena Tan came! We all hope that she will enjoy to be in our class and make good friends!

The p4 level is very lucky to be the first level to have a reading programme. In the reading programme, pupils will be given a storybook each (the same for the whole class) which are actually books that had won awards or one of those best selling books. The books are distributed once a week or twice a week by the form teacher. After every reading, we will then discuss about the good part of the book, the characters of the story and then a book review. Sometimes, we have an extension activity. For example, after reading a book,the pupils will have a chance have a chance to watch part of the movie that is of the same title of the book they had read for example Charlottes's Web, Stuart Little. They also will have the chance to learn more on other cultures. Recently, the whole level watched the movie entitled, "How to eat fried worms" in the hall. Thanks to parry lim who has generously lend us the VCD for all the p4 pupils to watch on that day.
The recent extension activity that 4 care had experienced was to learn more about the Japanese Culture. This was because the book that the pupils read, "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes" was originated fromthere. The class learnt origami and experience sushi making. They also ate snacks that are common in Japan and drank green tea which is a common drink in Japan.
Below are some pictures taken during the sushi making cum green tea and origami session. They are also pictures of pupils participating enthusiastically in the reading programme and lets hear some of the favourite books of the children of 4 care.

As part of the Reading Programme the P4 Level is embarking, i had organised sushi making as an extension activity from the book the class had read before which is "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Crane". Since the book originated from Japan, it would be good if the pupils were exposed to some of the Japanese Culture.
As part of the post CA2 activity, the pupils needed to bring an apron to prepare for the sushi making. Everyone was very excited. The ingredients were prepared by the teacher and the pupils were divided into groups. I demonstrated the making of the sushi under the visualiser and after that, the pupils got the chance to do it for themselves! Each group was given some sushi rice, seaweed, soya sauce and also the toppings (eg sausages, cucumber, crabstick and omelette) to prepare for the sushi.
On top of that, we also had a tea ceremony whereby pupils had a chance to taste green tea. Rachel Chua and some other pupils had kindly brought their green tea bags and gave one tea bag to their classmates. The rest of the pupils got their green tea bags from me which i specially bought them from Daiso. Last but not least, the Japanese snacks that the pupils brought earlier were distributed to their classmates as a treat to them during recess! What an interesting and enjoyable day!

I must first thanked Niger and his family for letting us use the facilities in their Condominium for our 2nd gathering And also Yujia for painstakingly organising another gathering. Almost those who didnt turn up in our 1st gathering (jeremiah, yiping, weishan, hpone, weiheng, yeehueh) at lovely's house came for the 2nd bbq. those who didnt make it in both the gatherings (jabbar, keith, gabriel, sean and many others) better come for the next gathering maybe at the end of the year. No Excuse Please. and also we missed rena, lovely, iman who did not manage to come due to some unforseen circumstances.
I was really moved by all of you for the effort and time you put in for the gathering. Shenyang, Hpone and Ridzwan who just came from their NCC Camp also turned out for the gathering although their bones were breaking apart. Those who had tuitions, or who had overslept during the day, or with loads of projects to do, had put aside their time to come.
the food was really fantastic. we had satay, barbecued fish,mini octopus, chicken wing and not forgetting beehoon and curry. we had a good time setting the charcoal and bbqing. Ian Ang was awarded with Degree in Lighting Up Charcoal and the Art of BBQing from Quintet University and made sure we ate our fill. Other people who had helped out in preparing the bbq food like Cassandra, YeeHueh, Yujia, Jeremiah. These people will soon be getting their Diploma in Fanning Fire and the Art of BBQing from Quintet Polytechnic in the coming convocation ceremony. Thanks to Clarence Sim for taking photographs for me to upload them for all of us to enjoy.

The day that i have been waiting for had finally arrived which is of course, Teachers' Day. That will be when i will get to see my ex, ex-ex, and ex-ex-ex pupils and find out what they are doing. Most of them have transformed to hansome young men and ladies. Its a nice feeling to see them and remember their old and forgotten teachers here in Queenstown Pri. This time round, i happened to see the 6A 2005 badge pupils more than the other badges. I really admired how they are "gelled" together after so many years. That is the best present for me for Teachers' Day. I hope their friendship will last for a lifetime!
For my little "toddlers" which are from the 6A2007, its great that you are enjoying yourselves in your secondary schools. All of u are adapting so well now. I was quite worried that you might not be able to adapt or even cope with the subjects. I am very happy some of you still come back to qtps to say hi to me. Kiagos and khalil still comes . Lim Jeck helps out in the Maths Olympiad and Iris, Yenyi, Suhaila helped to upload videos and movies for me. Thank you guys!HOpefully, in November we can organise another class gathering to celebrate the SA2 results
