Hi


My boy still need to stay back for supp class ????????? Very kiasu teacher!!

So I would like to know what is the continuous compo about and whether the paper 2 is hard.

What? serious? The teacher is really super kiasu. I won't let my child stay. DD plans to sleep, to read a book, (not textbook) and play table-tennis in the rest of day.

Sat still need to go back for supp class, siao right??

My dd said that she has made one mistake. I responded with a smile that it is ok as she has never obtained full marks for English before.


I am not sure if it is wise to discuss the content of the compo in details here as it may make the child feels that he/she may go out of point, thus losing some confidence. We just have to celebrate one paper down and move on to Maths now.

Yes that was what my kid’s friend wrote. He was quite worried and kept saying he did not know what else to write…I did not say anything, told him it should be ok…but was wondering if ticking sound could get louder?


Personally I find this year’s compos harder, like can easily go out of point and my kid said synthesis very tricky and overall paper seems tough

Can someone help with this synthesis and transformation for today paper :

:scared: Wah! Sounds like getting worse ... Better go see a doctor soon. You would want to enjoy and celebrate with your ds after PSLE is over right ?

Speedy recovery ! :please:

Thanks, Fightingmom... *bear hug*

The torturing part is I cannot go near DS, afraid to pass the germ to him, I peep and peep at him through the door groove... feel so guilty that I am unable to give him good hugs... *cry in heart*

Dun cry, You will get better soon . for you okie ?

In the meantime can send him some smilieys for now like this :snuggles:[/quote]

My DD wrote about the party and how they decided to draw on the wall to celebrate dad’s birthday, in the end get a scolding instead…think is it ok?

My dc also wrote a fire scene from the picture but outside the house !! really worried that it may be out of point ! Any english teacher out there to share your views ? Thanks

from what i know, being out of point is when students didnt take reference from what they see, and continue their story further and further... if he takes reference appropriately, i think should not be out of point..

PSLE 2012:

My DS told me that the continuous writing was about a library where you heard a sound that was growing louder and louder. Sounds 'do-able'. Pray and hope for the best.

My DS wrote the continuous one but I have a feeling he was out of point. He wrote he was in the library and trapped in the lift??!!!!
I asked him more but he refused to tell me more....saying that English Paper is over and do not want to talk abt it...

Mine even worse! She wrote she found abandoned puppies in the library's toilet whimpering, so she took them home to adopt them... :yikes:
