Dear year 6 students,
Tomorrow, I will be using these materials for revision. The materials selected are compiled from a workbook written Rosziana Othman which I find very useful. I posted it here so that you can continue your revision at home.

It is interesting to explore on how to describe people or animal. By looking at this picture, one can make variety of sentences. However, for examination purposes, the description of people and animal is limited to the physical attributes. Assumption are not allowed. Therefore pupils need to be careful of their word choice and limitation.
Some of the words that can be used are:
Physical: Short, Tall, Clean, Dirty, Fat, Thin, Fair, Dark, Sad,
Colours: Red, blue, yellow...etc
Patterns: Stripes, polka dots, checkered shirt
Hmm....why don't you give a try?
Praise to Allah the Almighty for giving me the guidance to teach this question. Alhamdulillah. I've been wondering how to go about this question until Allah give me the Light.
To answer this question, you need to think 3 times before you write. Therefore I call this technique as 3T & 1W.
3T equals to thinking 3 times:
1. In general what's the story is about?
2. Who are the characters? Name them.
3. What's the flow of the story? Picture by picture.
1W means you now can start writing. -Check the verb given, how can you use them. -Expand the sentences by adding suitable new words and phrases. -Adding adjectives and adverb to your sentences.
In question 3, it is not difficult to score marks but I admit, it might be a bit difficult to score full marks. However, by keeping errors at bay will certainly help very much in accumulating marks.

Question 3
Reza just finished watching the new animated movie 'Rio' and found himself very interested in birds. He thought birds are the most beautiful creatures God had created on earth.
Yesterday, he managed to persuade his father to take him to the nearby ostrich farm. All the family members went too. Reza was very excited and sit impatiently at the back seat of his father's car.
Upon arrival, his father bought the tickets for all of them. Luckily for them, the tickets were not expensive. At the entrance, there was a tour guide waiting to show them around the farm. This made Reza very happy and he started asking a lot about the ostriches there.
Reza and his brother rode the ostriches at the farm. They find it so amusing as they were laughing as they rode. Their father took some photographs of them and some other birds too. On their way out, they visited the souvenir shop. There are a lot of items made from the ostriches eggs. Reza's father was so generous that he allowed Reza and his brother to buy the souvenirs.
It was a wonderful visit. All the family members were very happy. Reza learned a lot about ostriches and thanked his father for taking him there. He thought in the nearest future he will be able to come and visit again.

Amin is a naughty boy. Every day he will do something mischievous to make his mother angry at him.
One day on his morning walk, Amin brought a catapult along with him. He was thinking on doing something today. At a field, he saw a buffalo. Without further delay, he launched his catapult and shoot the buffalo.
As any coward would do, he turned back and started to head back home. What he did not realise, the buffalo become angry and attacked him from behind. Amin's was badly hurt.
Luckily, the villagers heard him crying for help and sent Amin to the hospital. The accident caused him a head and leg injury. Fortunately nothing serious happened to him.
