PSLE WRITING PROGRAMME

As we continue to build on our students’ writing skills in preparation for PSLE, we familiarise them with the exam format. We teach them examination skills and tips, as well as ways to plan and check their work within a restricted timeframe. Students are introduced to original and classic story plots and learn how to use comic relief, romance, the main character’s internal struggles and real-life events for added inspiration.

“Watch out! A shrill voice reverberated in the air. Only then did I realise that something was amiss. Things took an unfortunate turn. Looking up, I realised with absolute horror that it was a big watermelon falling. Water droplets landed in my eyes and I blinked. Time seemed to stretch forever. It was too late to react as the circular object landed squarely on my head. The sudden crash seemed to echo inside my skull. I gritted my teeth in agony as excruciating pain radiated throughout my entire being. Letting out an ear-piercing scream of pain, my legs gave way beneath me and the ground rushed up to meet me.

Dark furniture in the office reflected the principal’s stoic personality. The trophies on the display shelves reflected the golden blustery rays of the sun that shone in from the windows. The principal’s fingers touched the horn-rimmed glasses that perched on her nose. “So, how do you think I should punish you?” her nasal voice drifted to Sean’s ears and he stood straight up with a start, then lowered his head to feign his guilt. “Detention would be too easy on you, don’t you think?” she asked him again. He masked his fear with a face of nonchalance and placed his arms firmly behind his back like a criminal awaiting trial. Angry molecules filled the office and the air throbbed with the principal’s fury.
