A word of advice during the holidays...

So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

Hi children,

Partings are part and parcel of life. Like some of you, I can't help but shed a tear in my heart for you guys have been brilliant! So please don't feel too sad anymore if you are no longer classmates with your best friends. Well there are still so many ways to keep the friendship going and that depends on the effort you are going to make.

Anyway I do hope this is not the beginning of the end of our class blog. For those who would like to post something (about what you have done during the holidays perhaps) up here to share with the class, you may write in to me and I'll gladly give you the login name and password. My email address: eskeclays@hotmail.com

Have a happy holiday!

I remain,
Mr Tan Mun Sing
