Show-and-Tell Practice

Remember to prepare for your Show-and-Tell Practice. Xin Yun did her presentation today. She did a great job, speaking in a loud and clear voice, and maintaining eye contact with the audience. Below is an adapted version of her presentation.

"Good morning, everyone. Today, I am going to tell you about my favourite fruit. My favourite fruit is the watermelon. It is sweet and juicy. It is big and green and has tiny black seeds. On a hot day, it is especially refreshing to eat a slice of watermelon. My mother buys it at the market and cuts it into many slices. After dinner, my whole family will enjoy eating the watermelon. Thank you for listening to my presentation."

You will be taking turns to give your Show-and-Tell presentation this week and next week. Be prepared.

Poetry Recital Competition

Adeline Lau and Tham Min Yao represented 1F in the Poetry Recital Competition held on 19 July. They recited the poem 'Dinosaur' and came in first! Congratulations to our two winners who practised diligently till they were word-perfect! A big 'thank you' to the whole class too for their fervent support every time Adeline and Min Yao practised in the class. In fact, some of you could even recite the lines with them! Special thanks to Cara Wong who was the 'back-up'. She learnt the whole poem too, in case one of the two representatives was absent.

Sandwich Making

On Monday, you had your first Modified Language Experience Activity (MLEA). Min Yao and Zen helped me to demonstrate the steps in making a sandwich. You worked well in your groups of four and took turns to spread the margarine, add the lettuce and scrambled eggs and cut the bread. Did you enjoy the activity?

Learning Journey to Woodlands Library

Did you enjoy your learning journey to Woodlands Library? Many of you selected a number of books and were able to scan the books yourselves to borrow them. You were very well-behaved and were quiet both in the bus and at the library. Madam Ong and I are very proud of you. :)


You can write a poem!

In the Big Book 'Lazy Duck', the lazy duck always said to the other farm animals,

"I'm a duck,
I'm a duck,
I'm a lazy duck.
You do the work
And I have the luck!"

Min Yao told me that he liked this part so much that he kept reciting it to his father! Well, boys and girls, when it was your turn to come up with a short poem about a lazy animal, you did a great job! Here are some of your poems!
