Use a recipe to make cupcakes for the elderly.
Poem 'Way down upon the river, far, far away, where my heart cries, there the elderly stay.'

A formal letter is written in formal language with a specific structure and layout.
We write formal letters to a teacher, bank, company, or local council to seek permission, complain, or apply for jobs.
Parts: sender's address, date, receiver's address, salutation (Dear...), body, closing (Yours faithfully,), signature.
Example: Najmee's father wrote a letter to Encik Hakimi explaining Najmee's absence.
The English Language Society of SK Tunas Cipta wrote to Tasty Chocolate Factory to seek permission to visit.
'Either...or...' and 'neither...nor...' are correlative conjunctions. They link two words or phrases of equal value.
| either...or | You can go either left or right. (a choice) | |
| neither...nor | They are neither my schoolmates nor friends. (not either) | |
| example | I went neither to the party nor the wedding. | |
| example | She plans to make either pasta or soup for dinner. | |
| example | My grandmother can neither read nor write. She is illiterate. | |
Pupils continue the story of Hansel and Gretel meeting the witch.
Hansel and Gretel found a cottage made of chocolates, candies, cakes, and sweets.
An old lady (a witch) invited them in, then put Hansel in a cage and forced Gretel to do chores.
The witch fed Hansel to make him fat so she could eat him; he tricked her by sticking out a chicken bone.
Create your own chocolate house using recyclable materials and talk about it.
A formal letter has: sender's address, date, receiver's address, salutation, body, closing (Yours faithfully,), and signature. Use it to seek permission, complain, or apply. The cupcake contest proceeds are donated to Mercy Orphanage.
Correlative conjunctions 'either...or' (a choice) and 'neither...nor' (not either of two) link two equal phrases. Example: 'You can donate either books or toys.' 'My grandmother can neither read nor write.'
📝 Kosa Kata
The cupcake eating contest raised money for Mercy Orphanage — proving that fun events can help charity! 'Either...or' offers a choice, while 'neither...nor' rejects both options. Hansel tricked the witch with a chicken bone because she had poor eyesight — a clever detail in the classic tale!
