- Only 5 children were present. The rest had to attend their CCA session. For those who were present, they completed a SW on writing an informal email to a cousin. Before that, they also tested a classmate who just joined on that day about what they had learnt on Monday.
- Following that, they completed a WS on question tags. That worksheet on question tags is not too difficult. I would place it at the basic to intermediate level. The objective is question tag is often tested in the PSLE grammar MCQ section.

Situational Writing Revision (Informal email/ letter to a friend)
- Listed different types of situational writing learnt in P5
- Grouped them according to formal or informal register
- Arranged the different headings of a typical SW in order
- Identified errors in some commonly used phrases by students but are actually erroneous
- Revised how and what to write under each heading.
Mini whiteboards and markers were used by the students to show their answers to Madam Chia. - Went through the graphic stimulus of a SW question in detail with the students. Many students had
missed out a lot of information that was in the stimulus when they answered it during the Sept holidays. - The students once again used their whiteboards to write down half of the informal email to a best friend
- Exit ticket: The students had to answer one out of the six questions asked in the question paper correctly
before leaving the IT resource room.
