Art Contest at the Park (Primary 2 Essay for 8 year olds by Elijah Wee, Singapore)

Here is a composition I wrote when I was in Primary 2 (8 years old) in Ngee Ann Primary School. I did this as part of my practice at home to hone my writing skills.

Art Contest at the Park

There was an Art Contest at the pack today. Tom was among the many contestants who took part in it.

His parents brought him to a shady sport at the park. With his paint brushes, Tom painted the beautiful scenery around them.

After Tom had finished his painting, he handed it to the organizer. After all the art pieces had been submitted, the judges started to select the winning pieces.

Tom won the first prize! When he went up the stage to receive the prize, his father, mother, sister and cousins cheered for him. Tom was beaming with pride that he had won the Art Competition.

Well, I must admit I am not good in art. Have you won any art competitions?

til later,

Stuck in the lift | Short essay, story for kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

"Stuck in the lift" - an experience I am sure a number of you may be able to relate to ... but in this particular case though, it was a little worse than the usual one ... Brave. I had always thought I was brave. As brave as a lion. Not fearful of anything. Until the lift had broken down. I was waiting patiently for the lift doors to open. A mother and her daughter waited patiently. The mother, clad in a light blue dress made of best quality material, clutched her daughter’s hand. Her lustrous blond hair cascaded down her well-toned shoulders. My innermost thoughts were soon jolted by the familiar mechanical sound of the lift’s doors opening. If only I had reconsidered taking the stairs … Accompanied by the monotonous whirring sounds of the lift’s mechanical system, we were each absorbed in our thoughts as we looked on at the ascending numbers flashing in sequence on the lift display. Bump!

An act of kindness | Essay for Primary School kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

" An act of kindness" , a essay I wrote earlier in Primary 4 (10 years old) ... School was over. “Mountains and mountains of homework! Why do our teachers have to give us so much homework these days?” lamented Jason as he trudged home with heavy footsteps on the pavement. His schoolbag weighed like a ton of bricks. Jason felt that sooner or later he would collapse because of the heavy weight! Jason’s face was as glum as an oyster and he was not in the best of moods. However, Jason’s mood was soon destined to be changed. At that juncture, from the corner of his deep-set eyes, Jason spotted an old man hobbling past him. He was a tall shrivelled person who looked as though all body juices had been dried out of him long ago in a hot oven. On his feet, he wore worn-out leather shoes, which looked as though they had been patched up a million times. The old man had scanty white hair, a wrinkly face which was as pale as death. He u

An Act of Bravery | Essay for kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

"An act of bravery" was an essay I wrote and was featured recently :-) Hope you like it. Davin’s act of bravery was certainly admirable. “Class, this is the new student, Davin Chang. Please welcome him as our new addition!” Mrs Phua, our teacher, informed everyone in her usual chirpy voice. Shooting a look at him, I instantly made a silent decision never to befriend him. Davin was as skinny as a twig and looked shy. What’s more, his school uniform was as old as the hill, indicating that he was probably living in extreme poverty. All of us must have shared the same thoughts, for everyone seemed to look at him in utter disgust. From that day onwards, we made an “oath” - never to befriend him. After all, why bother befriending Davin when he was poor and looked like a rodent? I should have remembered back then not to judge a book by its cover. Excitement bubbled in pupils like soda water as they dashed off towards
