Hi,


Anyone has any idea the new format of new PSLE 2015 composition format? Is it consist of the guided composition (which is a single picture remain the same) and continuous composition (which is 3 different pictures). Students need to choose one to write.

Thank you

Regards

Gladys

Please do not contact Erica544. She is wasting my time.

Contacted her for further details concerning tuition for my child but she told me that she can only teach for 2 months. After which she will start her double degree at Uni
So she cannot teach my child due to time constraint.

Waste time!

Hi all, I would like to apologise to Blessedwife for not making myself clear and planning my time. I am still inexperienced and will rectify my mistake in future.

On hindsight my conditions were quite inconsiderate.

Hi All,


my son started P1 this year and I’ve noticed he’s rather weak in writing e.g. forming a story with proper sentence structure. Any parents out there know of any June Holiday programmes which can help him have fun while improving his writing skills?

Thanks in advance.

Write for fun! The aim when beginning is to get the child used to putting thoughts on paper. You can start by getting him to write a journal entry when something more interesting happens, or make up his own stories. If he likes drawing, he can also illustrate them. He can make little booklets to share with friends, cousins, grandparents etc.

Initially, don't worry about spelling or format or style too much, and don't make him do corrections! Those can come after he gets used to writing with fluency. You can point out errors and suggest more interesting vocab, but let it be his own work. Search online for writing prompts and ideas as well - there is quite a lot you can find. The main thing which I cannot stress strongly enough is NOT to demand or expect school-standard or school-format writing as it will kill creativity. School 'creative writing' is not very creative at all. You can focus on school requirements when doing schoolwork, but not at other times.

Hi, you can consider getting the Pri 1 Teachers@Works Creative Writing Book. I got mine from Northpoint Popular. I saw that the standard of that book is equivalent to enrichment centre's worksheets style.
