for activity 3: collect 5 leaves with different edges/shapes
Do we take green ones, then press them? Or simple take the brown ones?
If pressed, how long must the leave be pressed? MTIA

hi, all mums. I am new here and has a P3 boy.
any informations about this year’s p3 oral exam. As in P2 last year, they will give some topics for them to prepar a few weeks before oral exam… -
Periwinkle,
The recent CA1 for Chinese was only 4 chapters…for SA1, it will be the whole of book 1, which is 3/4 of the book this time. CL tutor told me preparation this time will be tougher.[/quote]
Hi Janet,
Thanks for the headsup. My girl is sick and on MC 2day. Ai, have not been able to follow the schedule I set up with E3’s advice.
And she has not touched any Chin assessment for 2 weeks. Pretty worried, but I told her health is more impt and exam is not everything. She has been worried abt Maths, so I had been doing Maths with her more frequently then other subjects. -
Hi Periwinkle,
No wonder I didn’t ‘see’ you here. The weather is really hot of late…my son has a cough and blocked nose for the past few days…have been pumping my son with lots of liquids especially now.
Next week is the NAPFA test. I told him not to go for PE/modular CCA (table tennis) since he is not well.
Please take care of yourself too. -

E3,Hi Janet,
I like the idea of memorising the openings. Catch the marker's attention first. I have also taught her to conclude well.
It's quite different now for oral exam. For my dd's P1 oral, on top of reciting a poem, there was a passage to read for English. For Chinese, it's 看图说话 and 儿歌朗诵. P1 teachers practised with them. I guess P2 teachers will not, especially for the better classes.
For P2 Eng show-and-tell, kids will choose an item from a list given by the teacher. Not too sure whether it's the same for all classes. Eng T will give each of them an empty template with guidelines in which they have to fill in the Intro, Body and Conclusion. Thereafter, the teacher collects them, vets thru the contents, edits and the kids will memorise from that script.
For Chi compo, I get my dd to copy out a few 'common' scenarios - eg. Helping Others, Making a Mistake, Happy Day, Describing a place/ Person etc once a week. When we have time (which is quite hard to squeeze in nowadays), she'll write one compo that I gave and timed her. I'll include 成语 cos for her school's assignments, they were told that they MUST use the 成语. Nearer SA1, she'll write one compo every alternate day, 1 week before till the actual exam day.
For English, she'll do a quick Mind-map for each picture. Collate all the points and expand while writing. She will use one idiom whenever she could (I let her refer) for each compo. For beginnings, she likes \"flashback\". Same for English, one compo every alternate day, 1 week before SA1.
All these are still in progress, I will know whether these strategies work for her after her paper 1 exams. My main concern is her time-management.
P2 will be having chinese composition? -
donkey:
Yes. Paper 1 consists of 看图写话 (10marks) and 造句 (10 marks). Did you receive a circular from school regarding all the test components for Chinese SA1? All the test components are given in that circular.
E3,
P2 will be having chinese composition?
My dd told me that Oral for them will be conducted next week. I called up school and confirmed that English Oral will be conducted from 19th - 22nd. Based on the office, the circular is not out yet cos the chinese department apparently has not confirmed on the oral dates. However, my dd's Chinese teacher told the class that she'll conduct oral after their 听写默写 next Tuesday. -
My P1 boy tells me that for their show and tell, they are supposed to collect a paper outside level 2 general office, fill it up and return to level 2 general office. He has been visiting the general office but he said that the paper is always run out and cannot get.
Can anyone advises what is it? -
prisnkc:
Is your son talking about the 'I am a star 'show and tell''? Last year, my dd's teacher photocopied extras and gave to them if more of them wished to participate. They performed an item during recess, can also be story-telling which was what my daughter did. Am I right? Or are the p1s having show and tell for oral this year? It used to be reciting a poem assigned by teacher and reading a passage. If in doubt, it's better to email teacher to clarify.My P1 boy tells me that for their show and tell, they are supposed to collect a paper outside level 2 general office, fill it up and return to level 2 general office.

Thank you for the reply. I have checked yesterday evening on the circular . but i am not sure the 看图写话 has any helping words? how many words she needs to write?
I have let her practise the 造句. she has difficulties in writing out all the picture words. I really afraid that she will fail on the 看图写话. Really dont understand why needed to test a P2 students on the chinese compo! really difficult for the small students!! -
donkey:
My dd brought home 3 compos so far and did one in class, so they had done 4 chi compo practises already. Every picture has 10 helping phrases which consist of 4 成语 and 6词语. They are told by her teacher to mandatorily use 2成语 and all the词语.
E3.

Not sure whether this will help your dd, you can ask her to plan about 6-8 sentences for the pic compo. One beginning sentence, 4-6 sentences on the plot, one ending sentence. As she is planning, encourage her to use the helping words and put a number next to each helping phrase that she uses in each sentence so as to flow. Then, write out the sentences in order of the numbers. Since your dd has difficulty, keep it short and sweet (KISS).
