11 PSLE Format English Language Paper Components Marks Weighting Duration 1 Situational Writing Continuous Writing 2 Language Use and Comprehension % 1h 10 min % 1h 50 min 3 Listening Comprehension 20 10% Approx. 35 min 4 Reading Aloud Stimulus-based Conversation Total % 30 15% Approx. 10 min
12 Situational Writing Strategies Be mindful of the Purpose, Audience and Context Purpose: Why are you writing the task? Stated as part of the question. Is the writer expressing her gratitude, to inform, or to appeal for help? Audience: Is the writer writing to someone of authority or to someone whom she is not familiar with? Context: Understand the flow of events in the situation Tone: Using appropriate choice of words when addressing the intended audience Example Write a letter to the residents of your neighbourhood asking them to return your rabbit to you if they see it.
13 Paper 1 Continuous Writing Strategies Examine the question carefully e.g. Write a composition of at least 150 words about an unfortunate day. (theme) Use one or more of the 3 given pictures Spend 5 min on planning 40 minutes to write 5 min to check Expand main ideas with details Exploring more on the characters. Senses, Thoughts and Feelings, Actions and Behaviour
14 Comprehension Take time to read and really understand Need to read the text at least twice Make connection to the text using prior knowledge and linking ideas within the text Check using: Tenses, Agreement, Punctuation and Spelling Example Do you think the author prefer to go out or stay at home? Support your answer with information from the passage.
15 Reading Aloud Strategies Clear pronunciation *Be expressive according to the text Fluency: pausing at the right moment.

17 Possible topics common to students experience School events Co-Curricular Activities Family Friends National events Community (neighbourhood) Personal (likes / dislikes) Example: Tell us about a lesson which you enjoyed very much.
18 Key Strategies Focus Intervention Explicit teaching of language skills and components during supplementary lessons e.g. Writing, Synthesis and Transformation, Comprehension Use of PSLE Questions or exam questions as exemplars to illustrate the various strategies to answer questions, in particular the open-ended questions. June Holiday Master classes Close the specific learning gaps before the Preliminary Examinations

23 Paper 1 Continuous Writing Strategies Examine the question carefully Write a composition of at least 120 words based on a given situation Example: What happened in class one morning during a Science lesson (pictures showing cockroach and students being frightened) Use all given pictures and create own ending Spend 10 min on planning 40 minutes to write 5 minutes to check Expand main ideas with details Exploring more on the characters. Senses, Thoughts and Feeling, Action and Behaviour
24 Comprehension Take time to read and really understand Need to read the text at least twice Make connection to the text using prior knowledge and linking ideas within the text Check using: Tenses, Agreement, Punctuation and Spelling Example: 1) Why had Kumar s mood changed? 2) Why do many people call the Merlion the lion-fish of Singapore?

31 P6 Key Develop a good understanding of the numeracy concepts and their connections - Whole numbers, Decimals, Fractions, Ratio and Percentage Make connections between different topics Model drawing and Ratio method as key strategies Acquire proficiency in calculator skills Procedural fluency in approaching problems Develop confidence and perseverance in solving problems From Strategic to Reflective Learners Exam preparation and management
32 PSLE Format Standard Mathematics The table below shows the PSLE Format for Standard Mathematics. Our P5 SA1 and SA2 last year are of the same format as PSLE to ease them into seating for PSLE. Our CA1, SA1 and Prelim this year will also be of the same format. Accuracy in calculation Speed and time management Perseverance and staying focused
33 PSLE Format Foundation Mathematics The table below shows the PSLE Format for Foundation Mathematics. Our CA1, SA1 and Prelim this year will also be of the same format to ease them into seating for PSLE. Calculation Accuracy and Speed are equally important for the Foundation paper
34 Polya s 4 Steps Problem Solving 1 Understand 2 Plan Choose a strategy Model drawing and Ratio Method (Key approaches) Other heuristics (Progressive learning across the levels) 3 Do 4 Check O O Is my Solution Reasonable? Can I Solve it Another Way?
35 P6 Key Strategies Revisiting P3 to P5 Topics Targeted supplementary lessons to revisit P3 to P5 topics concurrently to help the students recall and strengthen the concepts and skills Align and connect P3 to P5 concepts to those learnt in P6 to develop a deep understanding of Math concepts so that students will be able to apply their skills and knowledge more effectively to solve a variety of problems Important to build their confidence and train their speed and accuracy
36 P6 Key Strategies Maintaining Rigour and Focused Intervention Using PSLE Booklet (2014 to 2016), we want to get the students used to the exam format and maintain their focus in exam settings Use of past years PSLE questions (2009 to 2013) in the topical worksheets to provide sufficient exposure and maintain rigour Our June holiday lessons will also focus on helping our students to approach problems with similar constructs. Through these formative assessments and summative assessments like CA1 and SA1, we will be able to diagnose and identify the students areas of weaknesses for focused intervention

46 Apply through the use of OCEC* Explain how such a system is able to lower the temperature of the surrounding air. Give a reason for your answer. The mist increases the amount of water droplets in the air. [Observe from the picture and question stem] Thus, the water droplets gain heat faster from the surroundings and evaporate faster, [Concept], removing heat faster from the surrounding air. [Evidence from lower the temperature ] Thus, the temperature decreases.
47 Parental support in Science Learning Developing a habit of annotating and identifying scientific terms in the question stem is important. Parents can highlight this as revision is carried out at home. Some studies have found that everyday parent-child conversations can contribute to supporting children s scientific understanding as meaningful parent-child interactions are a possible mechanism for cognitive change.
