Primary 6 English June Holiday Workshops 2024

Composition Writing Workshop

PSLE preparation is about consistency. At English Ninjas, we believe that practice makes progress! In the June Edition of our Composition Workshops, we will be focusing on language, more specifically, descriptive writing techniques that engage the reader and bring the story to life.

Unlike many centres that spoon-feed students with stock phrases that students use ineffectively, we leverage each students' unique personality, experiences and perspectives in creating descriptions that add that OOMPH to compositions! Students absolutely GROW and GLOW when they feel empowered by the process.

What is covered?
  1. DEF technique
  2. Emotions: Fear, Excitement, Guilt, Embarrassment
  3. Scenarios: Fire, Reacting in a medical emergency, Witnessing an accident

PSLE Intensive Oral Prep Workshop

Many students struggle with this component because of a lack of content or just not knowing how to express what they know in their heads! Having almost two decades of oral preparation under our belts, we understand this.

Preparing for PSLE Oral requires content knowledge, a structured approach to organising content and practice in actually verbalising content. This four-day workshop with a structured approach to generating content that students can relate to, this workshop teaches students how to organise their thoughts and then verbalise them confidently.
