We prepare our Kindergarten 2 students for Primary 1 by inculcating in them the joy of writing. Our Junior WR!TE lessons are centered around interesting children’s stories that will help our students to acquire vocabulary, grammar and comprehension skills. With a good foundation, our Junior writers will learn to construct simple sentences and build their vocabulary bank.
We set clear learning milestones for our Primary 1 students. First, we ensure that they master the mechanics of writing such as capitalisation and punctuation use, as well as identification and use of the correct parts of speech. Students will learn to construct simple sentences and build their vocabulary bank. By the end of the course, they will be able to write three-paragraph compositions with confidence.
As our students advance in their writing skills, our focus turns to thematic vocabulary development and the ability to plan a story using open-ended questions (base on 5Ws and 1 H) to add detail and bring the tale to life. By the end of the year, students will be skilled at writing four-paragraph compositions.
We build on our students’ story-writing capabilities in Primary 3. Students learn how to plan their stories independently and ,with a wide variety of themes covered, they will have in their arsenal a broad repertoire of story plots to pull from. By the end of the year, students will be skilled at writing four to five-paragraph compositions on any topic given.
Janice glanced worriedly at her wrist watch. The time was already ten past seven. She had twenty minutes to make it to school on time. The sky was overcast. A slight drizzle rained down like a mist. It started raining cats and dogs as Janice reached the bus stop. She had ignored her mother’s advice to take an umbrella with her. She wondered how she was going to make itto school in the rain.

It was an idyllic Saturday morning. Fluffy white clouds hung in the clear cerulean sky. Granny Lucy was tottering to the market. Her heart was filled with light-hearted cheer and her mouth curled into a smile. She was looking forward to preparing a feast for her grandchildren, who were coming for dinner that night.

I am amazed at the depth of vocabulary my child has amassed since attending W@W. She has become a much more confident writer and can now write a full story with ease. She loves coming to lessons
