Foodcourt? Bingo, that was the only pic discussion we went through yesterday. I feel that it's easier than the unfamiliar sandwich making session.

Hi5, dd told me it was a class celebration, I was pretty disappted whole evening after reading the forum ...as majority children seem to interpret the picture as a cooking lesson. Now waiting impatiently to go pick dd from school, :xedfingers: my fingers that the Chinese oral today will be something she is familiar.


:hugs:

my nephew interpreted it as class celebration too. I guess as long as there is no word or banner saying 'Baking session' it can be interpreted in different ways, I think.

It is some comfort. My ds and his friend also says class party preparations for first day EL Oral. How would most p6 know about home econs class, esp boys?

Wuaah, envy! :please: Verysuperkiasu, zeemimi & ngl2010! Not only have all your DCs' schools completed their prelims, they've also gotten all their results! :salute: I'm impressed. At least now all of your DCs can really concentrate & just look forward to working towards the REAL thing. For the parents it is good to already know where our kids stand at this juncture.


DD's sch finished oral exams last month. Till today, not even a whisper of any results or how they did. It doesn't really matter now since PSLE oral is done and over with. :roll:

LC exams coming Monday and all written exams same as icy_mama's DD's school.. 26th August.

Chinese oral topic today - recess time.

Conversation - what you do during free time.

Today's topic sounds easier to relate to, balletmum.


Any feedback from your DD?

For Eng oral, DD was okay with reading and picture discussion. She learnt from her lesson yesterday not to repeat the content for conversation (as in different from the picture) - this time she talked about how a P3 girl helped her during her first day of school in P1. Hope she’s correct. But she said she stammered a lot during conversation.


The thing abt conversation - it’s really not fair especially if you have to cook up a story there and then - it’s not testing abt oral anymore - it’s about quick wittedness to think of an idea or story to talk abt.

And to make matters worse, a few planes flew past and she said the teachers were straining their ears to listen to her.

It's actually my friend's DS topic. My girl is having eng today. Her DS says its relatively ok. Recess topic is very common, practise many times over the years. Its in the standard operational manual (oral sample book).
