        Yes, it's called composition.
        There are helping words and the students are supposed to form sentences using the helping words and link up the pictures.

            On average, there are about 6-8 sentences for 3 pictures. I definitely need to sign my daughter up for creative writing class from next term. Her teacher said she tends to write whatever goes to her mind. Next term, there will be Show & Tell as well as 4 pictures for creative writing.

                Hi Janet,
                Creative Writing is the one & 1st tuition that I will start my DD2 with when she enters P1 next year! :evil:

                Am seeing the \"struggles\" that my DD1 went thru since her school started her off with Composition writing in P2 and the actual EL Paper 1 exam in SA1 the coming SA2! 😓

                  Yes, my son is facing the same problem and it's really hard to catch up.
                  Daughter's school takes creative writing to new heights...so I have to start her on creative writing asap.

                        After 8 months, I am still trying to get cope with daughter in P1 :imdrowning: Almost like being in P1 myself.


                        The new system of not having CA/SA is killing me for sure, on top of that, her EL/CL is not easy either. I am waving the white flag where her compo writing is concerned...just signed her up for creative writing class starting next Sat. It's at Thinking Cove. Hope she will be able to catch up by end of the year (summative test in Oct).

                        With both kids attending enrichment now, I would rather stay at home than do any window shopping. See-cannot-buy 😢 is more painful.
