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 … ...

Marooned on an island | Essay for 10 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore

Hey there. Here's an adventure story " Marooned on an island" from me - a departure from my usual essay topics. Hope you enjoy this! “No. This cannot be happening,” I muttered to myself as I stared at what was right before my bespectacled eyes. I had been marooned on a deserted island. The ship I was in had run aground. The sun shone brilliantly and the high clouds drifted across the clear blue sky. My hands felt clammy. I tried looking for any signs of human activity but there was nobody in sight. The thought of being all alone sent shivers down my spine. Being positive, I decided to go in search of food for myself. Arriving at the entrance of the jungle twenty minutes later, I was trembling like a leaf and my heart pounded wildly as I staggered uninhabited jungle on the i...

Incident of cheating at the exams (Primary 4 essay for 10 year olds by Elijah Wee, Singapore)

I am particularly proud of this essay I wrote when I was in Primary 4 (10 years old) at Ngee Ann Primary School - received my personal best score for this one, entitled "Incident of cheating at the exams" . John was a lazy boy. He would always play computer games and watch television. One day, before his English examination, he began to panic as he had not revised for it. John took out his textbook and copied some notes down on the palm of his hand. The next day, when the English examination had started, their form teacher, Mrs Ong, left the examination hall and the stern-looking Mrs Lim entered. As John was writing on his paper, he encountered a difficult question. No matter how hard he tried to think of the answer, his mind remained a blank state . Just then, an idea brewed in his mind, "Why not copy the answers from the palm of my hand?" Before copying, John scanned the whole place like a robber on the lookout for men in b...
