The Alternative Story

PSLE marking days:
Programme: Crash course revision

What does it cover: We will go through a few of the more
common themes of composition writing.

We will also go through synthesis, grammar, comprehension,
editing, grammar and vocabulary. We will provide notes for
the vocabulary words taught. These notes have the mnemonics
for each word, hence it will be easy for the children to remember
the words. Synthesis notes will also be provided and the children
will be taught how to tackle inference questions. We will also teach
the children how to do comprehension close passages and provide
notes for it as well.

Basically, this is a crash course to make sure the children have
some thorough revision before the SA2.

When: 19 - 21 October (Tuesday to Thursday)

Time: 10 am - 2 pm: with a 15 min break (total 12 hours)

** For our crash course, we are offering it at a discount as we
want to help the children get ready for the SA2 and not to waste the
PSLE marking days at home- some would just take the time to slow
down and relax which is the last thing to do so near the SA2.

Cost: $144

Venue: Yishun centre (Block 414, Yishun Ave 11, #01-1859)

This course is for only 2 levels:

It will be Pri 1/2, 3/4 or 5/6.

We will start a class once there are at least 4 children
registered for it.

We will tell you the payment details once you register.

Nov/Dec holiday programme:
We will be having an intensive creative writing programme during
the year-end holidays.

Programme: Love to write!

What does it cover: We will cover all the creative writing
techniques- metaphorical language, building tension, interesting
story beginnings, varied sentence structure, story hooks etc.

We will teach the children how to apply these techniques to a range
of themes. We will also teach them how to start the compositions in
creative ways. On the last day of the programme, we will show the
children how to write a composition based on an imaginary setting.
This is to get them to be creative and to show them how to add a
twist to their writing. This course will help the children to get ready
for the examinations but it will also expose them to creative writing in
its original form-using their imagination to add 'spice' to their stories.
