Being Responsible
Can anyone share the recent prelim composition topics ? -
Can I check if the kid wrote the composition of similar content of a passage he read before in compre , will that be penalised for no originality?

We are back in the school hall too, I was wondering if this was standard now?
The P6 kids are having their Prelims (and PSLE too) en masse in the school hall with aircon on. Will probably be optional if they want to keep their masks on to be safe.[/quote]
My thought was keep the mask on 😷 until 5 Oct! But I guess we will roll with whatever... -

The discussion in our chatgroup was: please don’t lift mask mandate in schools completely, cos if so, then the Mon-Fri dress-down uniform will be scrapped accordingly

Haha, I guess we are slackers; have been going with the PE shirt most of the days for many years now. School said it was too hot outside and more comfortable for the kids unless formal occasion.

I do like the look of the formal uniform though. My secondary kid has gotten lazy and even complains the one day per week they are required to wear. He's probably going back to five days per week soon... -

Actually some schools’ PE uniforms/sports T shirts look quite good. Ours definitely comfy cos dri-fit material.

For exams we still have the school rule must wear the formal shirt. I know some parents had to scramble to buy new ones recently cos the kids have outgrown those from 1-2 years ago

Hello,
Would any kind daddy/mummy here be able to share strategies for helping to memorise keywords and answering techniques for Science?
Feedback from tutor and my own observations is that my son is able to understand the concepts well but he can’t express them clearly in the required science terms. I’ve tried making him memorise required keywords and answering techniques but he doesn’t seem to be able to do so.
Not sure if this is because he is left-handed as some that left-handers have brains that are wired differently.
Does anyone have kids that are like this and/or be able to share how to overcome this?
Thank you in advance! -
Is he able to identify the topic that the question is testing? Once he can identify, then recall the key concept for the topic and use the concept to answer. There aren’t many concepts they need to know, but the challenge is in application.

Usually he can but he just can't seem to recall the keywords or certain ways to explain.

He is able to do fine for MCQ which shows he understands the concepts, except for a few careless mistakes, but OEQ is always the killer.
E.g. he will write something like \"Fibrous husk - so it can float/will not sink\". However despite repeated reminders, he can't remember that he needs to state that it is the air trapped in the air spaces within the fibrous husk that allows it to float and be carried further away from the parent plant.
Or he knows that exercise makes you breathe faster because you need more energy but he isn't able to remember that he needs to write that the faster breathing is to take in more oxygen to produce more energy and to remove carbon dioxide from the body.
Forcing him to memorise only works for that few minutes and after that, it is back to square one.
How do you all usually tackle such problems?
