Hi


Curious to know what is the format for compo writing at P2? I understand by psle the compo format will comprise of 3 different pictures and the student must write a story to include at least one of the picture. Are the schools modifying the lower primary's writing in view of the change? Or it's still 4 pictures description! Any idea? Thanks!

Hi, for my DD's primary school, her English teacher is teaching them the 4 pictures description composition. In fact they have practice in class how to write 4 pictures composition. Term 2, my dd will take her first English composition test with 4 pictures description.

For her external enrichment outside her primary school, she is learning the new PSLE format of 3 pictures description with a minimum of 1 picture used.
I have checked with her school English teacher and respect the way the teacher is teaching them to write the 4 pictures composition. Last year in P1, the single picture composition was taught to them.

I'm not sure if other P2 English teachers are teaching the new PSLE format composition of the 3 pictures type. Perhaps other parents would like to share their experience.

Hi Sembgal,
May I know the name of the external enrichment that your dd is attending? Reason being the school just informed me that they are switching to 3 picture compo this year and that the term 4 compo test will also be 3 picture format. I have called a few centres like TAS, Write Connection but all of them still not teaching 3 picture compo yet. Appreciate your sharing as I need to fire-fight now. Can pm me? Thanks a lot.

My dd reads a lot but I don't see the improvement in writing. How often can the school teacher teach them to write composition? Perhaps 2 compositions a term? If by sending to a writing school to make my dd practise writing 10 compositions a term, I think it is more effective than purely relying on school teacher. 1 year in a writing school will provide 40 composition practice as compared to what the mainstream school is providing with the most only 8 compositions a year. It is a blessing if the school teacher guide in composition writing and what if the teacher sent the writing exercise home as homework and expect the child to complete on his/her own. I know my dd's school teacher will guide them in their compositions but I find 2 compositions a term really insufficient. Writing is a skill and must be mastered. Do you know compositions marks stand for 1/4 of the overall PSLE English paper marks and yet little emphasis is placed on coaching students to write compositions in schools, especially for higher levels? You do the math and you know what I mean.
