 Grade 5 Winter Homework January 2023  


Attention Xinmin scholars! 


1. Next semester the school will be taking submissions for the Xinmin Horizons magazine. Students must prepare a short piece of writing 300 - 500 words in length. You may choose any genre or topic you are interested in. Please handwrite the final draft on a piece of lined paper. Make sure your writing is neat and legible. 


Hand it in to homeroom teachers. The winning pieces of written work will appear in the magazine!


2. Some reading assignments, writing activities and videos will be set on Savvas Realize for students to complete during winter break.
