      Oh, that was not his imagination. We have seen the 911 video clips some months ago. And recently , the Bangladesh building collapse fascinated him, he did a rewind to see that while watching CNN News .


      Actually I do tell him to make it down to earth, especially for exams. But at 9 he is still not matured to distinguish the two - a normal class work and an exam. Stressing him to tone down, results in a bland short write up.

      My list of donts based on compos he practiced were
      1. No blood and gore. Robbers do not go about shooting all people with machine guns
      2. No volcanos erupting , no earthquakes , no asteroids landing on earth.

      But I did not say anything about building collapse :slapshead:
      He's a got years to figure out what to do in the PSLE. Too many years working within the contraints of a single exam can be mind-deadening. My daughter only did PSLE stuff for less than a year and was thoroughly fed up long before the exam. Her teacher also made up a fairly long list of 'don'ts'. I wouldn't be too strict just yet - it takes the fun out of writing.

          DS asked me this morning, what is the meaning of 'decent'. Told him mean, acceptable, proper, fitting, appropriate.


          He said 'ok, for today's compo test, I will use the word decent.' Thought to myself ok, this is like his fixation with the word 'hilarious' previously. Told him nobody decides the words even before they see what the compo is about. What if the word does not fit in.

          He stared at me and told me. \"Don't worry Mummy, I will be able to use the word decent. I will write a decent compo using the word decent and get a decent grade.\"

          hilarious :rotflmao:

          this is a good one.

              How to edit compo on the spot?


              I noticed when my son writes a compo, he can’t see parts of his story that are disjointed or improbable. However, if 3-4 days later I asked him to edit his compo, his story became much better. He can see what is wrong with his compo and amend it.

              He only has 55 minutes to complete continuous writing in PSLE. Does anyone knows how to create this 3-4 days gap affect such that he can see from a fresh prespective when he is editing his compo?

              Thank you.

                Some P1 to P5 students should have received their results for CA2. How did your kids perform this round?

                  Our school CA2 papers were too easy (except for English) and most of the students in my DD's class got band 1.

                      The highest score in my boy's class was 40/45 for English. Not sure about the highest in the level. My boy made a careless mistake at the synthesis section and 2 -3 errors at the compre section. Received 39.5/45 in the end.

                      The Maths papers were very easy. Both papers 100 marks. Think there are many with full marks.
