I/We/They always win.
How to always win. (In this case the 'to' is the keyword ..to win..not to wins) -
Can I know what marks do your P1 children normally score for English Paper 2 and creative writing? Any idea how many marks should a child score to be considered well done?

They are in St Anthony's Primary School. I was also very surprised when I got to know about it.mowmow:

which school is your child in to have creative writing in P1
if creative writing means compo (ie write 5-8lines of a pic given), my boy's neighbourhood school also have compo writing in P1.
i was quite surprised initially...the school did not term it as 'composition'; they term it as 'Written Expression'. i think it is getting common nowadays as compared to our time.... -
I do know of another school - Nan Chiau Primary in Seng Kang - to have composition paper for SA1ā¦

Oh yes, used the wrong term. The school called it \"written expression\" for the examination. Children are expected to write about 60 words based on 4 pictures given. And it must be written in a story form, not just plain sentences. Teachers stress that the story must flow fluently. Really not easy to be P1 kids nowadays!ks2me:

when my girl in P1, she also had to write composition based on 4 pictures. She was graded for content and language. Very difficult esp. the grammar as she often mixed up the tenses used. Have hard time explaining the grammar part to her.
This year she is in P2, she have to continue to write 'creatively', means content, grammar, vocabulary...

Yah, I know, the writing just need to get more and more sophiscated nowadays ( Prob, that's why The Learning Lab is so popular as it teaches \"Bombastic\" vocab). But come to think of it, it is actually quite a good idea to start young. In fact for my kids, they started doing written expression during their kindergarten days in Chiltern House. They need to write 5-8 sentences on an event which had happened in school, eg. their Sports Day, or their favourite food, etc, as weekend homework almost every week!when my girl in P1, she also had to write composition based on 4 pictures.
