Are you ready?

Dear Boys,

How are you? Have you enjoyed yourselves thoroughly during the past week? Are you ready to be back in school for another 10 weeks of fun and learning?!


Anyhow, I hope you have packed your school bag and placed both your English files in it. Please remind mummy or daddy to take you for a haircut if your hair is long. I need you to look super handsome on Tuesday because we will be taking photographs as a class.


Yes, Mrs Tan is all ready and looking pretty!

I hope you are excited about the English Language Week and looking forward to it too! For those of you who are participating in the costume parade, do get your costume ready, and get your mummy or daddy to pack your school uniform, school tie, PE attire and a favourite item for Tuesday. I hope to see many of you dressed up as adventurers on that day! Oh, do let your parents know that the book fair will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday (Yes, the dates have been changed!) too.

Meanwhile, enjoy your weekend! See you back in school on Monday!

Love,
Mrs Tan
