That’s the same for compositions. Today we learned the different ways of starting an essay and various methods of ending one. The students also attempted their best at writing that perfect introduction/conclusion. Hope they had fun!
Reading and travelling are two important ways of getting an education. <a href=”http://smg.photobucket.com/user/juzdean/media/1_8.jpg.html” target=”_blank”><img src=”http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/juzdean/1_8.jpg” border=”0″ alt=” photo 1_8.jpg”/></a> While we don’t have the budget to fly our students overseas, we are able to get them in tune with what’s happening with the other side of the world with the news and technology. I was[…]
In GEP classes in some schools, students are required to conduct interviews. I am proud to say we start our children from Primary 1. I introduced my Primary 1 students to The Little Prince today. It is a classic and I thought it is worth recommending to them. As they are only seven years old,[…]
I go through a piece of news with my students every week. This is to broaden their knowledge about the world, get them interested in reading and it is also a good way to learn new phrases which will be useful for their composition and comprehension cloze. For the upper primary students, I usually share[…]
*brag alert* I am sorry about the brag posts of late but we really want to share our joy with all of you. A student messaged me today to tell me he got into band 1 for his English after scoring 86/100 (compared with 77.5 in the previous test). Another parent told me his child[…]
A parent of a P2 child enquired about our class curriculum. I tried finding previous posts about the P1-2 English class to give her a sense of what we do. There were so many wonderful memories as I browsed through the contents. It’s amazing how much we have done, and this is just for the[…]
I am going to have intensive practice with my students this weekend ahead of the SA2 Paper 2. With the new English exam format, the comprehension component has changed too. Some parents are very worried- fret not. We are here to help. And guess what, it’s actually easier to score with the new system. What[…]
A lot of students are having their oral examinations this week and are terrified because of the new oral format. In the previous oral examinations (that has been almost unchanged since my days!), students have to describe a picture and then would be asked to discuss a topic. It is a bit more of a[…]
Read a piece about photography and it advises one to do this. “Learn all the rules, then break them. As much as I hate rules, they’re there for a reason. The first time I heard about the “Rule of Thirds” my mind was blown. I quickly began rearranging all my images to fit, and I[…]
Yesterday, I invited members from Save Our StreetDogs SOSD to give a speech to the Primary 1/2 children. When asked what one should do when his puppy grows up and is no longer adorable, one of my students said he would “let it go” in the forest. The kind volunteer explained to the students why[…]
