picture compo is beach setting, a boy bitten by a crab.


cloze passage about dolphin, heard it is difficult.

[janice_koh]

my son say compo is quite okay. The paper is easier than his Prelim but he got brain freeze. He thot he missed out the cloze passage which is 15 marks; I almost faint then I went round checking with his classmates to find out the content to help him recall. Phew, he finally remember doing that page :rant:

[mathsparks]

son said dolphin is compre. :? cloze is about theft. Anway his sit. writing minus marks, coz the To: salutation hee didn't write correctly.

[JJJmom]

my son said both papers are quite easy, some he did in past year papers before. thank GOD!!

[janice_koh]

past yr papers . . .? I thot PSLE are always new questions?

[caroline3sg]

I asked my girl, yes, dolphin is compre and cloze is about theft/robbery.


As someone here mentioned compre tricky, I asked her difficult or not. She said easy, & short answer.

Yes, she did pass year papers, and are relatively easier than her sch papers.

Hope she can do well as her languages are better than Maths & Science.

My boy found it easy. One girl didn’t turn up coz she had just come down with dengue fever. Poor thing. Another has to skip the PSLE altogether – had two fingers on his right hand (his writing hand) severed when a door slammed shut (his fingers were in the gap). Last my kid heard, he was undergoing an operation to stitch them back to his hand.
