Water Safety

Hi P3 Charity,

Do you remeber a composition you wrote on water safety?

Here's one composition written by a pupil in the level.



"Alright boys, you have practised well today. Let's call it a day and we shall meet again tomorrow. As the competition is coming soon, go home and rest well." said the soccer coach before he dismissed the boys. John took his soccer ball and left the field.

On his way home, John dribbled his ball merrily along a canal. Suddenly, he tripped over a stone and fell. The ball rolled into the canal. As it was his favourite soccer ball, John desperately tried to get the ball back. He leaned over the railings and tried to retrieve the ball. At that moment, he accidentally fell into the canal.

John cried out in fright. He really hoped that a passer-by would come to his rescue. Fortunately at that moment, someone walked past the canal and heard John's cries for help. Without any second thoughts, the passer-by quickly jumped into the canal to save John. He swiftly swam towards John and saved him.

It was indeed a wonder that John was rescued in such a deep canal. However, John could not retrieve his soccer ball. Nonetheless, it was a good lesson learnt for John that day. He vowed never to commit the same mistake again.

I have 3 questions for you to think about.

(1) pick out 2 good words / phrases
(2) pick out a good idea / portion from the above composition that you think can improve the composition you wrote
(3)change the ending of this composition (last paragraph)

Hi P3 Charity,

Here's some science questions on materials for you to blog on. Refer to your science textbook pg 60 and blog about the following questions:

a. Which materials were used to make the different houses?
b. What are the points to consider when deciding whether a material is a good building material or not?
c. Besides wood and bricks, what other materials are used to make houses around the world and why?

At the Beach

Hi P3 Ch, this is the 2nd composition which you have done. I have chosen Genevieve's. After reading, discuss with one classmate of yours and type in three other words or phrases that you can use for "drowning", and change the ending for the story.






On Sunday afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Jackie, Sally, Tom and Justin went to the beach to play. The beach was very crowded. People were cycling, swimming and having picnic. Sally, Tom and Justin made sandcastle while Jackie played ball.

They were happily making sandcastle when Justin saw Jackie swimming alone to retrieve his ball in the water. Justin was shocked to see that because the sea was rough and it was high tide. It was too dangerous to swim alone.

Just then, Justin saw Jackie struggling and seemed to be drowning. Justin quickly dived into the water to save him. Sally and Tom were worried if Justin could save Jackie.

Justin managed to save Jackie and pulled him back to the beach. Sally and Tom were very happy to see that their friends were safe. Jackie was grateful to Justin and he had learnt not to go into the sea alone.

Composition 1

Hi P3 charity, I will be posting well-written composition done by your classmates. Here is the first composition which you have done. I have chosen Ayuni's work. Do read and learn.

"Mum, can I go to the park and play ball?" asked Pete. "Ok, but be careful not to go near the canal." said his mother. So Pete went to the park happily and played. He did not know that he was playing near the canal.
As he was playing, his ball dropped into the canal. Pete wanted to retrieve his ball so he climbed over the railing. When he wanted to catch the ball, he fell into the canal.
Pete screamed for help. A passer-by saw him calling for help and he dived into the canal. Pete was swept away further and further away to the deep sea as he could not swim. Pete screamed and he panicked. The man whose name was Kent swam swiftly and finally got Pete. Then he carried Pete home.
When Pete reached home, his mother was shocked to see him soaking wet. His mother was so angry. She told Pete that he should watch where he was kicking the ball to and never play near the canal.
