Some annoucements:
1. Missed lessons due to MC/Competitions - please take the initiative to look for me if you need extra lessons. This applies to any of the subjects that you have missed out on. Btw, good luck to all the sportsplayers in my class for all your competitions. Remember - workhard and playhard!

2. Worksheets/homework etc – It is your buddy’s responsibility to collect for you and also inform you, otherwise be responsible and ask your buddy for the updates.

3. Remedial lessons – After school/recess : If you require, please make arrangements with me. This if for anyone that has queries/shy to ask in class/ unclear about the topic/ or basically just want to revise your work.

I have summarized some feedback after marking through your test papers, will post it next week. Also, i ask for your cooperation NOT to discuss about the geog test with your friends from other classes because not all has taken it. The test questions will be changed, but still it will not be fair to YOURSELF or those that have NOT TAKEN THE TEST. Let them score based on their own merit, and not because they know about the questions that you have done.

Lastly, i heard feedback that some dislikes my lessons as i do not always end on time. I have always been trying to keep to the time, but if you guys do not cooperate in class, it is not likely that we can end early. And as many of our lessons will clash with the upcoming holidays, i am trying to pack it such that we do not have to come back during march school holidays for extra classes. Hence please try to understand this.

Its been a rough week, enjoy your weekends all..
