As I wait patiently for news from my P6 2018 students on their PSLE results, I thought I should blog about what we have been doing in class this month to prepare for the PSLE 2019.
This month we have worked on 2 compositions – Being Afraid and An Argument as well as 2 Formal Situational Writing pieces. We have also started work on the 2018 Top school papers.
To facilitate the ever increasing challenging vocabulary words that appear in the examination papers, I have given my students a 10-page list of Phrasal Verbs for them to learn slowly. They are then asked to make sentences with these phrasal verbs. I am hoping to see an improvement when they come across phrasal verbs during paper 2 exercises. I will certainly test them during our Paper 2 Intensives/workshops in December!
This week, I have also handed out the the CA1 Vocabulary list to them. They will be tested from the list of words over Term 2 which will begin in January for us. I have omitted the Editing words section as they already have their list of Phrasal verbs and I do not want to overload them.
Here is the list below. I hope it will come in handy for you, even while you enjoy your end-of-the-year holiday break 🙂
