T1W8 Saturday, 28 February 2015

Dear children,

      I hope that you have been studying for your English test tomorrow. The format will be similar to the practice paper that you did. The first section will be Editing of Spelling, Punctuation & Grammar (SPG). The second section will be Open-Ended (OE) Comprehension. Most of you will be able to do the Editing of SPG fairly well from what I have seen from your practice papers. However, for the comprehension, ensure that you answer the questions in complete sentences and use the CUB strategy.

C - Circle the Question words. (What, Where, When, Why, Who, How)
U - Underline the word that shows that the answer needs to be in Past Tense or Present Tense.
B - Bracket the clues in the passage.

      With this strategy, you will be able to understand more clearly the requirements of the question and answer the question more confidently. Remember to start a sentence with CAPITAL letters and end with a full stop.

      Besides this, there has been some concerns regarding next week's spelling. There WILL be spelling next week but because the English test is on Monday, I have decided the reduce the number of words for spelling. You will only be required to remember the FIRST 12 words/phrases in Week 8 spelling list. I repeat, only the FIRST 12 words/phrases.

      That is all for now. Have a good weekend everyone!

Best regards,
Mr Luqman
