Holiday Homework! =)

Hi everyone! Hope you are "enjoying" your holidays.
Here's something for you to "enjoy" while I'm slacking at home. MUahahahha!

First of all:
1) Finish reading Charlotte's Web, and write me a book review of about 150 to 200 words.
Your book review should include the following points:
i) Summary of book
ii) Your feelings after reading the book
iii) What you have learnt from the book.
iv) Would you recommend this book to your friends? Why/Why not?

2) Worksheet: Editing and Sentence Synthesis Exercise

3) Personal Recount: Write about a memorable experience during your June Holidays.


That's all for now! I'll try to think of more work for you to do. Watch this space! =)
