This is a gentle reminder that there will be Oral SA2 Examinations this Thursday from 210pm to 4pm (After School) Please remember to arrange your transportation for that day.
Also, please make good use of the Listening Comprehension Book which contains Oral passages and Picture Discussion prompts to prepare for your Oral. Parents may want to go through the reading passages and picture discussions with your child in order to boost their confidence.
In my opinion, most of the pupils in both classes are able to ACE the reading aloud component. However, some of the pupils may need to improve on their interpretation of the picture prompt. It is important for them to understand the difference between merely describing and good interpretation. For eg. Instead of saying… “There are two adults clapping.” One could interpret based on the picture, “The two adults are applauding loudly in order to encourage the chimpanzees to perform better in their show.”
You may also want to go to hwsezportfolio.commontown.net to listen to your child’s recordings to have a better sense of their standard of reading and picture discussion. Do give them due credit for their effort in learning how to read well and how to interpret well. Thank you so much.
Cheers,
Mr Abel Kok
