eh, forgive me but i think my answer is : ignorant - letters should be posted in post boxes, not postman
answer for 2 - it has to be sorted because postman is supposed to deliver letters, now that he has a letter to be posted, he will have to be sorted so as to seperate those to be delivered and those to be posted?!?!?!?!?
"ignorant - letters should be posted in post boxes, not postman" ~ the worksheet has a picture of the postman and the girl standing next to a post box!
Your answer for no. 2 makes no sense since the postman was there to collect the letters from the postbox!

*haha* That was good - letters ARE NOT given to the postman!
My daughter WOULD have been stumped just by that. And then wouldn't know how to answer it. She did just that in P1 for a Math question that said something like this:
There were 3 ducks and 2 chickens. How many are there altogether in the pond.?
gee. what kind of question is that? Are we to assume that the ducks are really in the pond just b/c they can swim? OR... as dd questioned, "what are the chickens doing in the pond?!" *haha*
I emailed the school about how distressed dd was over this question, and the next thing I heard was that the students were all asked to change the "pond" to "farm".
To this day, dd never ceases to be amused by such inaccuracies and ambigious statements in her schoolwork or any books or material for that matter, including typo, spelling and grammatical errors (now that she's older !!!) I think can employ her to be "editor", liao. She's now in P5.
