11 Apr (Sun) 2021 - Term 2 Week 4 (Easter Term)

Dear Parents and Year 2s,

The holy month of Ramadan begins on Monday for Muslims among us, also an opportunity for us to reflect on priorities at this point of our lives. Term results would be a good performance indicator of our strategies to be good learners at school, it is also an opportunity for conversations with, and guidance from parents. MOE <SchoolBag> has this <article> to share, together with many other good commentaries.

Wishing everyone a good week ahead.
