Holidays, sweet holidays!
The time everybody needs,
After hard and serious work,
To rest and feel fresh again.

That precious time for teachers and pupils,
Keep away from books,
And celebrate success.

Rest time for the public and civil servants,
To stay home and relax,

For believers to thank and praise God,
For His wisdom, mercy and kindness,

Nyantwiri Village,
P.O. Box 202,
Rwensenene.

14th August, 2018

Dear Mummy,

I am pleased to write to you again after such a long time. How are you and how is work in Jinja? Back here, we are alright and I am preparing for Primary Leaving Examination (PLE).

Mummy, I am writing to inform you that our school has successfully registered us for the PLE 2018 and we are very happy. Now, I am ready to sit for the Primary Leaving Examination. In fact, all the candidates have been briefed by our head teacher, Mr. Businge Samuel.

During the briefing he said, “All of you should take note of the PLE time table. This will help you to know how the subjects have been arranged.” He also emphasized that we should read the general instructions carefully and those inside the question paper. After that, the head teacher gave a chance to all P.7 teachers to brief us too. Mrs. Joy, our class teacher advised on filling in information on the first page carefully. She also told us to read each question twice, understand and then answer what is required.

The other three teachers talked about writing our responses in the spaces provided in the question paper. They encouraged us to have confidence in ourselves. They added that all the questions set are within the curriculum. They warned us against any kind of examination malpractice.

Mummy, the teachers also reassured us that we shall pass with flying colors. I am ready and revising seriously following the time table. Pray for me not to forget what I was taught.

Please, send my regards to my little brother Alinda Moses. I wish you all the best while doing your work.

Your loving son,
Karugaba Morgan
