Project Work Week (25th-28th May 2009)

Dear everyone,

This year I think everyone played their part in ensuring a smooth week. Though there were some disagreement and squabbles, I hope everyone had a great time bonding with their group friends. And that you learnt how to settle quarrels and to make peace.

I saw some of you displaying confidence when speaking in front of the whole class. Those who were feeling shy, I hope you can overcome that and be brave enough to raise your voices the next time you present.

I was very happy to see some groups put in so much effort like by going to your friend's house to work together. I'm glad that you took this project seriously and tried your best to present. I also had fun watching you work together and watching you present your hard work.

Thank you for a wonderful time (^-^) With that note, I wish everyone HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Do remember to complete your holiday homework and do some revision of Term 1 & 2 work, but most of all, don't forget to have loads of fun!! (^-^)

2. Why do you think the papers have been a fair or unfair test?
3. Do you think you have done well in this semester?
If 'Yes', what factors contribute to your success?

If 'Yes', why? If 'No', why?
