But No Use!

Ms Phua was advising Student D to behave and be more courteous when he speaks to his friends.
Student A who is usually not sociable was observing.
She approached Ms Phua and spoke hesitantly and loudly, “You sent him to the strictest teachers (pause) BUT NO USE !”
Wow ! You never know when they are watching and learning :o )!

Condolences

P6 students were taught how to write obituaries and condolences.
Clifton’s grandfather passed away this week.
Clifton’s classmates wrote,
“Dear Clifton’s Grandfather, I am sorry you passed away.”
“Dear Clifton, condolences to you. It would have been good if your grandfather died a few days later so you need not have to miss the School’s Children’s Day celebrations.”
