Successful Flag-Selling Day

Dear 4F students,

Wow, I'm really proud of you. You all did a great job!

It was raining heavily yesterday morning but all of you still tried your best to help the people in need. Although sometimes you were turned down or ignored, you never gave up. You gathered all your courage and kept on asking the passers-by to buy flags from you. How kind and persistent you are!

Remember, we should never give up! I'll always support you!

Love,

Ms Lee

Team Spirit

Dear students,

These days, I have been thinking of sending you some gifts that you all like. But… I want to make sure that the things I send you are something you really need, treasure and appreciate. After all, I really want to make sure that my gifts are something special for you. Hummmm, after some thoughts, I finally come up with some nice gifts that you will definitely enjoy without having to spend a huge amount of money. Do you know what they are?

Right, they are…. Love, Care, Humourous, Excitement, Tolerance, Support…..

Remember, as one of you suggested in the lesson, “we need to support others, care about others, … These are all qualities of TEAM SPIRIT!!!”

Love,

Ms LEE
