The holidays are here! Time to READ!!!

Dear 3B,
it's been a week since your school holidays started. Hope you have been enjoying yourselves!
In Term 2, we watched two movies, namely, Matilda & The BFG. As we discussed, these are movie adaptations of Roald Dahl's books.

Roald Dahl is a famous children's author.
Click on the link below to know more about him and the books he wrote!
http://www.roalddahl.com/ (It's a fantastic website!)
Click on the "books and stuff" link to discover the entire reading list of wonderful stories written by him.

I hope that during the holidays, you will get a chance to read all or at least some of his awesome children's books! They are available at public libraries, so ask your parents to check if the books are available and pick them up. Enjoy reading!!!

Apart from the Roald Dahl Books...

Are you a Thrill Seeker? Brave Heart? Horror Fan? or a Jolly Joker when it comes to books?

click on the link below to answer a few questions to find out what kind of a reader you are!

The second page will give recommended books according to the type of reader you are. Have fun trying the quiz!!!

These holidays, it will be good if you can also catch 10minutes of the Channel 5 or Channel NewsAsia news as well as read maybe one newspaper article a week. Such habits help us to expand our vocab and also listen to good ways of reading a passage (useful for oral). Not only that, it expands our general knowledge!

As an endnote,
do use the "Notes" section in your Pupil Handbook to write down all the titles of the books you've read and enjoyed. It will be fun to share when school reopens!

Enjoy the holidays!!!

Love,
Ms Priya :)
