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.
