Celebrating YOG

2010-08-12T16:12:00.005+08:00

Dear class,

We celebrated YOG yesterday. School hours were deliberately changed from morning to afternoon so that all of us will be able to witness the passing of the torch and celebrate YOG. However, due to the heavy downpour, it was delayed and as a result, we missed the passing of the torch. Nevertheless, we had quite a lot of fun playing the games.

Examples,

Mary hurt herself while cycling in the park last evening.
'Herself' refers to the noun Mary.

A 'Twistered Fairy Tale' is a story that was adapted from an existing fairy tale and then changed the plot of the story to make it a little different.

Below are videos of fractured fairy tales. Happy viewing!
