Any parents from P1? How is your kids’ recent written expression (compo) paper? It was supposed to be a mastery test - At the playground. I was told by my girl that the paper was marked by 2 teachers.

I hv chk with my dd who is in P1 regarding the above but she claimed that no such test conducted in her class. She is quite blurred like sotong. I think will wait until receive the result. I think I don't expect too much from her as she is quite weak in her comp writing. I am looking around to enroll her in enrichment class for creative writing.

My child had compo test (At the playground)but result not out.

My child also took the test but the paper is not returned yet. I feel that it is still too challenging for the P1s to be tested on composition writing so fast - just my opinion.

According to my girl, it's not compulsory. Those who did not submit on last thurs will not be able to join the contest.

Agreed. I am quite shocked to hear they hv composition writing test on 2nd term. I tot this will be done fr P2 onwards. I hv asked my girl again regarding this test and she claimed that there are some helping words given so maybe it will not be that difficult for them. Anyway, my girl scored average on her composition worksheet and hence don't hv high hopes on her for scoring high mark.

Yes, compo writing starts from P1 Term 2, same as last yr for my son. It should be reflected on the Term's Assessment Schedule, together with mastery tests and other assessments like Show & Tell, Reading etc. There is no marks but is based on rubrics system, same for Show & Tell, Reading, then convert to certain weightage of the percentage allocated for the term (e.g. 30% of the term's 25% etc).

My son was among the few selected to go for the han yu ping yin class on a fixed day every week as he was very bad in that. And coincidentally, that day he was supposed to do his chinese spelling test, and he had to skip it. Anyway, I still teach he the words for his knowledge.


On that particular day weeks ago, he was asked to go back to his normal chinese lesson, he was ready for the spelling but he did not bring along the spelling book, as we knew that he was not taking the spelling on the day.

The chinese teacher told him that he cannot take the spelling as he did not bring the book, and he will get zero for that (This is what my son told me and I believe in him). I can imaging how hurting the child can be and it will definately affect his confidence in future, that night, I wrote to the teacher asking for the reason for the sudden change in schedule. She did not even reply me until my wife called her a few days later, then she told my wife that the other teacher was on MC and she had to take back the class.

I felt that the teacher was totally not flexible at all even if there’s a valid reason, she’s just so stiff that she sees the child never bring the book, he’ll be barred from taking the spelling, but she did not realise that the child was not informed on the schedule change, with the valid reason, the child will at least be given a piece of paper to do the spelling, now the situation is showing that the teacher’s MC, will be the child’s fault.
