English paper

Post by Cornwall Mum »

My son did his English test yesterday and Devonport. I am confused and am getting little out of him.

I understand there was a section B on sharks, but he is vague about whether he wrote anything, just saying he answered questions. This was in addition to the comprehension.

I don't think this makes sense. Can anyone enlighten me? Cheers.

I think the boys and girls English paper may be different- my daughter did an essay on'homework' and there was one on recycling-in their paper there wasn't much vocab but lots of 'codes' to work out sorry can't be more help.

Dear Maryni

Thanks for replying. I'll just have to hope my son sails through on maths and verbal reasoning next Saturday.

Good luck to your child with passing.
