Life on the River (Term 3)

In the Stellar unit "Life on the River", the pupils learnt about the life of the Vietnamese along the Mekong River. As a follow up activity, the pupils were given a map of Singapore River. They learnt about the various landmarks(Boat Quay, The Parliament House, Merlion Park etc) along the  Singapore River. After that, some pupils acted as "tour guides" to share with the rest of the "tourists" about the Singapore River. They had a fun time learning more about the Singapore River and also put their public speaking skill into practice.

Readers' Theatre (Term 2): The Wolf's Story

For the unit on "The Wolf Story", our pupils did readers' theatre in class. The story is a twisted version presented from the Wolf's point of view. Through this lesson, the pupils get to learn the correct pronunciation, intonation and the ability to read with fluency. Not only that, pupils also learn from one another and also become more confident when they are given ample opportunities to present in front of their classmates.

"Listen to my friends - they all agree that being wicked just isn't me!" Wolf retorted.

"Straw is not strong enough. Why, that house will blow down with one little puff!" said Wolf.

"I huffed and puffed but that house was strong." replied the Wolf.

"...so now your know the truth about that fateful day..." defended Wolf.
