2014 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[sleepy]

Ladies,

I have no idea what you are discussing about


I decided not to ask too many questions otherwise giving myself unnecessary stress

The std for this year's EL on the whole seemed to have bee raised - LC very tricky, Paper 1 very tough in my opinion and Paper 2 though DD says easy as the questions unfold, they are also very tricky - choices of answers are so close and really needs some deep thinking. Looks like EL will be one of the major T-score tipper!!!

My sentiments too. All papers seem easy at first glance but in actual fact, very tricky.

my DD wrote \"through\" hard work comes success.

Mine too. The paper seems difficult. For the compo, DS only managed to write 2.5pg and his handwriting is huge. :nailbite:

First question DS2 asked me was \"if you were me, what will you write for the compo ?\" I was errrr.... :oops:

The debate on British vs American for PSLE English....


Coincidentally, I came across this from Tao Nan's website yesterday. Check out their 2014 P6 EL Curriculum Briefing
http://www.taonan.moe.edu.sg/pdf/parent ... L%20P6.pdf

In the slide, it advocated British spelling and pronunciation. And specifically crossed-out the word American. I guess the message is clear. Hope this helps.

I agree. DS seemed quite happy and relaxed after the paper so I didn't ask any specific questions, otherwise both of us will feel stressed if the answers don't turn out right. Anyway, what's done is done, it's more important to focus on the next paper with a good frame of mind.

Hi

My DS says the picture is boy with a chicken suit in a classroom. He said he wrote his compo The boy is a mascot for soccer game. What did your kids write?

My DS also wrote the pic compo. He said the student was dressing up in chicken costume for a class Show and Tell and he fell down and injured himself... something along that line... :idea:

He said most of his classmates chose to write the picture compo instead of continuous as it was easier..

_______ hard work comes success.

Hmm.. the quote from Spider-Man movie comes to mind:

\"With great power comes great responsibility\" so my guess is \"with\"

From the answers given \"with, after, through\", I find \"Through\" seems the most appropriate.
