The question was ,according to my child, a paper lantern with a candle and flame inside. The metal wire was on top of the candle used to hold the lantern. Paper is a poor conductor of heat so the paper conducted the heat away from the flame at a slower rate causing the paper to turn brown and burn. The paper lantern did not catch on fire. One question the GEP boys are arguing right now is the question where the ball was pushed upwards causing it to move in a curve and they asked what was false about forces. 1) The push force was used up causing the ball to fall (My son’s answer)

2) The weight of the ball caused the ball to slow down. I would appreciate your opinions on this question. Thank you!

For my son, he said that the booklet B is alright and MCQ was tricky. He is a GEP child so please dont worry about the paper so much. He was also scared he would not get AL1 for PSLE although he got AL1 for his prelims. When he discussed his answers with me and his friends, it seemed like he got one or 2 questions incorrect. Overall he felt that it was a difficult paper compared to past year psle papers. Let’s just forget about it and let our children enjoy their freedom until Sec 1 starts. He said the candle in the paper lamp question was 3, paper is a poor conductor of heat.
