Dramatisation: Owl Babies

Every child in 2I is a great artist! (:

To prepare the children for the dramatisation of the Big Book story Owl Babies, they were asked to create and design an owl baby each. The children were also encouraged to be as creative as possible and the class ended up with owls of different shapes, sizes and colours! Needless to say, the role play was a success. It was clear that everyone enjoyed the process very much.

Designing a Weather-Themed Postcard

2I children had fun creating and designing postcards for their classmates yesterday. The theme was on weather, which tied in with the big book that the class was reading. Everyone went home happily with a message from their chosen partners.

Oral Reading

Dear children,

You are strongly encouraged to listen to the song/story “We are Going on a Bear Hunt” (Click on the title to see the video). The man that you see in the video is the author Michael Rosen. Pay attention to the way that he tells the story. 

• How does he read and pronounce the words? Is it expressive?
• Are the ending sounds pronounced clearly?
• What happens when there’s a question mark (?) or an exclamation mark (!) at the end of a sentence?

Do continue to practise your oral reading everyday. You may record your reading using a handphone. You may also ask your parents or siblings to listen to you as you read aloud any passage.

Have a good weekend ahead!

Poetry Lesson: Sounds

On Monday, 2I children created their own poem on sounds. This was an extension activity based on the big book (The Growl) that the class was reading. The pupils were brought on a tour around the school and were asked to listen carefully to the sounds that they could hear. After that, they sat at the tables outside the library to create their poem. The children were told to be as creative as possible when coming up with the sound words. They were encouraged to invent their own spelling for the sounds they heard.

What do you hear, children?

Deep in their thoughts

 

Grammar Lesson: Past Continuous Tense

2I children learnt about past continuous tense during the English lesson today. To get them to practise using the grammar item in a fun and engaging manner, they were asked to play charades. Every group took turns to act out an action and the other children could only open their eyes when they heard the bell ring once. After that, they had to guess what that action was by forming sentences that made use of the tense. It was clear that everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously. Even the quieter pupils were eager to share their anwsers!

Can you guess what they were trying to do?

It's time to share your answers!
