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 !”

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.”
