Tinkerbelle:
Wow
My P1 DD's sch expects them to write compo with 3 paragraphs.
so advanced !!
Tks
A comment made by my girl's English teacher is that she writes her composition in a very descriptive manner...
I told my girl to imagine & pretend, but apart from that don't know what else to teach her...
Any tips to share?

mwchua:

Quick question: Generally are P1s expected to have paragraphing in their composition?
Thanks

Advanced?? Thought that is the norm?? You mean your gal's sch's doesn't do that?
Wow!! Your DD must be doing very well in compo for her teacher to say she writes in a descriptive manner. That's excellent for a P1 to know that. Very encouraging. Sounds like your DD loves to write. well done. :lol:
My DD2 writes whatever comes to her mind and in her enthusiasm, she always forgets to punctuate.. :roll:
I also tell my DD to imagine she's in the same situation and write about what she would do. A few good phrases never goes astray. Usually compos that score well are the ones that have good content, are coherant, use good phrases and have few or no grammatical and spelling errors.
DD's sch is big on phrases. The students are expected to have at least 3 good phrases in their compo. DD's teacher asked the class to learn 2 or 3 phrases for each feeling (eg. happy, sad, tired etc). This has indeed helped my DD. Now, I just have to work on her punctuation...haha
Just checking, does your DD's sch mark compo with the same weightage as my DD's sch? 6 marks for content and 4 marks for language (includes grammar, spelling and punctuation) . So total mark is 10 marks. Tks

Tinkerbelle,
my ds sch is also having the same weightage as your dd sch.
However, there does not seemed to be much coaching given by her English teacher on the essence of writing a good composition... This poor mummy also does not have much creative flair. So far relying on some of the model composition books I sourced from Popular

Hi all
My ds (K2) asked me 4 simple questions over the weekend when he was trying to fill up a puzzle and I am stuck! :?
e.g. as full as ....(what animal?), as hungry as.... (what animal?)
I told him I will find out and let him know... so I search high and low and managed to find only these. However, I have no confident that they are correct and I'm sure they are not complete... Can anyone out there help to correct me and/or add on to make this list complete?
As fast as a cheetah/deer
As slow as a snail
As lazy/fat as a pig
As clever as a monkey
As hungry as a wolf/bear
As happy/cheerful as a lark
As quiet/timid as a mouse
As fierce as a lion
As silly as a goose/sheep
As curious as a cat
As playful as an otter/a kitten
As ugly as a scarecrow
As wise as serpent/an owl
As busy as a bee/an ant
As tired as a dog
As gentle as a lamb/dove/rabbit
As fat as a pig
As nervous as a cat
As quick as bunny/lightning/a flash
As loud as thunder
As light as a feather
As easy as ABC/123
As deep as the ocean
As high as the heavens
As clear as crystal
As far as the east is from the west
As smooth as silk
As good as new
As sweet as honey
As bitter as gall
As cold as ice
As hard as a rock
As bright as the sun
As rich as Croesus
As flat as a pancake
As sad as night -
There are infinite, and the list is not exhaustive, anyone can come up with one at any second… therefore, the list will never be complete…

Hi! Can anyone help me ? Which one is correct?
Realized or realised?
Thanks
