Mrs Tan's Farewell to 3A!!!

Dear 3A pupils,

My sincere apologies that I could not be with the class during the last week of the school term and was unable to say farewell to all of you. As most of you might already know that I'll be leaving EDP to be posted to another school in 2017, here's my farewell message to all of you! Feel free to keep in touch with me via email (jocelyn.kohpeili@gmail.com).

The Prize Giving Day marks the end of your P3 academic year. 

As you moved on from here, you will be 1 year older, & definitely more sensible and mature. 
Do remember the FRIENDSHIPS you've made & the many 
SPECIAL moments we had together as a class. 

You are all CHAMPIONS in your UNIQUE ways. 

Continue to STRIVE & EXCEL in what you're strong in &

PERSEVERE in what you're weak in.

We definitely had a SWEET YEAR 2016 together as a class.

Thank you parents for your partnership with me in every aspect. 
I greatly appreciate all your support. 
Thank you also for playing an active role in your child's education & social well-being. 

It's not the end but the beginning of many more challenging years to come. 

Here's a story on "The Empty Pickle Jar" to share with all of you. As you watch the video, imagine yourself as the Empty Pickle Jar and think of what the golf ball, pebbles, sand and chocolate milk present in your life.

Wishing all of you a Blessed Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Farewell to Mr Bhim
