Will find out today after kiddo comes home from school, whether any of the earlier papers have been returned to them.

Some tutors say earliest coming Monday.

We are taking a good breather now, maybe meet up with some friends and go visit some places of interest. This may be the window of opportunity to be down with Covid, not later [/quote]

We still have LC tomorrow, so I'm not expecting anything this week (at least for us). But supposedly the teachers graded all of the exams same day after completion. Some sections even like the real thing; one teacher one question, pass down the line until all have been completed

I am also thinking about giving the kid a week off. Next week in school should also be fairly light, other than getting the papers back.

Hi
My suggestion is for you to compile similar questions per topic during your bite size revision. For example : Float and sink questions with a template answer/ sentences highlighting the keywords/phrases. So he gets it and remembers that when he sees such question, he will need to use this \"template\". For P6, you would want to encourage adaptability, so it might be good to also point out the key information to focus on and how it will affect his answers. Extend the question too/their thinking. For example, what other fruits/materials will act the same like the coconut husk.

Write down/Print and paste on big cards/stiff paper. Shuffle and repeat. Repetition will help. You can also play spot the errors. Get him to see what is \"missing\" from the answer or similar games to help him recognise his answers are incomplete.

I'm trying out this method for a child under my care with learning/spelling difficulties and the child has shown a vast improvement in grades.

I got the idea from my older kids when they went thru PSLE. I noticed thats there is a \"standard\" answer(s) and the kids will compete to perfect their answers. Often copying how the teacher did it or read from their peers who did better. Some kids are able to recognise these easily and are motivated to refine their answers till they can produce top scores. Others may need the help to craft the answers or extra motivation/support to remember and reproduce the answers.

Hope it helps. All the best.

:thankyou:

Sharing some Prelim CL compo questions for reference while preparing for PSLE CL compo:


HCL
- （情境）这件事让我明白做事不应该半途而废
- （情境）我泄露了邻居的秘密，害他被责骂
- （完成）我在房间里做功课，突然听到喊叫声
- （完成）考试时我正苦恼，突然有人想我抛来一张纸

CL
-（看图）姐姐带弟弟去小贩中心用餐，一位阿姨站了起来，姐姐和她相撞，姐姐的手被烫伤
-（看图）哥哥带弟弟去买食物，路上碰到他的朋友、和朋一起友踢足球，弟弟跟一只小猫玩，后来哥哥发现弟弟不见了

DS prelim CL picture compo qn:

- some boys kicking soccer on a field
- it started to rain, so they decided to continue kicking soccer at void deck nearby
- old man passing by at void deck was hit by the ball and fell down
- (continue the story)

This scenario is so familiar, we definitely have seen it before, but somehow I couldnt locate the qn in past PSLE papers, nor past prelim papers, nor P5 SA2 papers. Maybe it was in model essay book or tutor’s given hw.

can turn into a detective crime storyline. Eg football hit old man chest, old man died from heart attack on the spot (scene of crime)

Why have to assume the old man will die? For me , I will continue with the boys help the old man up and send him to a clinic to confirm whether he is suffering from any injury. Then the boys will accompany the old man home and apologize to him…The boys have learnt the lesson and will not kick soccer at void deck.

Yea I agree. Typically I thought Chinese comps must be wholesome and exhibit good or moral values kind and must learn from lesson. I think accidents till death is kind of like frown upon. English compo I think can have more free rein.

[zac's mum]

Update: sorry I misheard my DS. The boys were riding bicycles, not kicking soccer.


Yes, typical ending with the moral is preferred for Chinese compo.
