27 English SBC themes for Primary 5 students to prepare their SA2 Oral
As students gear up towards the end of the year slew of exams, the first and (probably the one with the least amount of practice) they will have, will be the English Oral component. In Primary 5, this component now consists of 30 marks, a jump from 16 marks in P4. It can be a great way to add on to your total mark. On the flip side, it can also be a way to jeopardise your English target grade, especially for next year’s new PSLE marking scheme.
To prepare for this component, we test our students individually in class (during the time that they write out their compositions) and also together as a class so that they can hear other responses from their classmates. Students follow the TREES approach as a guideline. Adding in their own humour and style are welcomed!
At home, parents can help their children by getting to read up on certain themes or even testing them at home like in an examination.
To give parents a better idea on what to work on with their children, below is the list of SBC themes that the Primary 6 2020 at our centre worked on.
I usually categorise the main topics under:
Personal/Responsibility & Family
Charity
Environment
School
Community
Health (Food)
The questions and themes are taken from past year’s SA1 and Preliminary Oral examinations from my students’ different schools.
Below is the list of themes that I worked on with my PSLE 2020 students throughout the year to prepare them for their PSLE Oral. We were lucky this year as the theme of performance appeared on Day 2 of the PSLE oral examination.
The oral posters and questions I create change year by year to mirror new content and current events.
I hope that the list can guide parents who are helping their P5 students at home with this component.
