I really like Singapore English, XP can do all the works by herself (lazy mom).In this chapter, she read some poems, understood them and wrote one.
.
She created a special name for a girl just to rhyme with the poem,
she was also very unhappy that stanza 4 could not rhyme nicely.

In this book (MyPalsAreHere! 4A),
students learn to write :
.
information report,
diary,
explanation text,
poem,
instructions,
e-mail, postcard & notes,
.
and of course grammar, reading comprehension and vocabulary.
.
.
You can see some violence in this poem,
new-comers normally will be bullied by the 11,12 year-old.
It took XP weeks to be accepted among them,
before that I was heartbroken seeing her cried everyday,
but still she insisted to go to the playground.
Lately she did quite well by helping the new-comers to blend in.
