My side still no news on the ant's perspective...

Huh? that's long. Yr DD did that much earlier than my DS, but DS got his result back last week. Actually I din know that he had done it, just dat he returned fr school one day , and had written some story abt ants. So it was not so much of a project, but more like a composition write up, right ?

Talking abt compositions.... so far what is the highest score that yr DD/DS can score out of 40 marks ? So far, despite positive comments fr tr, DS can only get 32 or 33, so am wondering is this the farthest one can stretch ? Anyone can share ? Composition does contribute to the exam result too !

Yup the ant's thingy is like a compo, nothing much, less than a page.

Just4fun, what is the grading for ant's perspective? Clueless how DD is performing. For her class, this is deemed as progressive writing and to elaborate the content. There is 1st, 2nd and 3rd drafts before the final submission. At least 2 to 3 pages. Not 1 page leh. As for composition, the highest score is 33 and lowest 22. 25-26 as avg. It adds to the Performance A ssessment. Your DS has done his utmost best in this result. Congrats !

Nope, nothing yet .
For mock paper, even if the school tr is to let them practise, the paper will not be returned . Just like the midterm, the tr will destroy the papers...
For Sci.. sign.... hasn't completed the teaching topics yet. Hence no mock paper yet.
