I thought so too but both my dd's FT and Cl teacher let the kids look at their papers 1.

Hmmm...only FT showed them the EL paper I with scores, the CL tr did not even reveal the score, let alone a peek of the paper. Btw, you got PM.

[quote=\"IJJ\"]My 4 yo were around us when we were discussing this yesterday, she was saying baby penguin does not need to catch fish, just use beak to eat. She saw the pic and said, maybe jiejie thot this one is baby. :lol:

That's the danger of interpreting the qn wrongly. Unless the qn specifically says this is a baby penguin, we must assume it is an adult one.

No lah, it was my 4 yo who cheekily suggested that. The P3 girl did not assume it is a baby penguin.[/quote]I was not saying your P3 girl assumed that, was just bringing to attention the danger of making wrong assumptions

She did not return paper 2 to my boy ytd :x My boy told me only some classmates have their paper 2 back.

This is ridiculous. Didn't she think before she distributed the papers?

Well, IMO, if the question is to state the function (singular), the student is expected to name any function, not necessary the sequence. Well, again bad question. The students attempted this paper needed some 'luck' to guess what answers the tester is looking for.

To be safe, be a little long winded even if the qn asks for a reason. Like qn 43b(i) on the balsam plant if the flower is missing. My boy also thought ahead n wrote \"wld not reproduce\" and was marked wrong. I wld prefer \" wld not bear fruit and no reproduction will take place.\"

No need to guess. Safer to write down the \"immediate cause and effect\" type of answers, then followed by secondary effects. Some teachers very stingy one, if dun write down secondary effects, also marked incomplete answers

Ah lor, siao one. My boy also dun know if some classmates got theirs back last week or why ytd not whole class got theirs back. Funny thing is, she said to return today though the sch letter indicated Wed.

You see, the confusion comes in when there is a fruit (part A) hanging on the branch. That was why mine hesitated for a while and did not write down the 'fruit' part. She told me, strictly speaking, w/o the flower (part B), the plant will still reproduce because there are seeds in the balsam fruit (part A), so the correct answer in her mind is \"the plant will not die and will continue to grow and reproduce with the seeds in part A.\" Well, eventually, she decided to write the 'reproduce' part, omiting the 'no fruit' part.

Any idea what's the highest EL paper 1 score in your girl's class?

As my boy was absent from school whole of last week, he was not shown his paper 1 (also dun know if the FT returned paper 1 to the class). He was told only his overall EL and by working backwards, we deduced that he got 30/35 for paper 1 and the oral test.

Thinking of how he can up this component in future.

Ya, that fruit hanging there is kind of confusing.
