Sandwich Making

Also known as MLEA, this important component of Stellar focuses on scaffolding the writing process for each child. First, the pupils are provided with the experience. For example, a sandwich making demo was arranged.

The teacher modelled the sandwich making.



A follow-up writing called the Class Dictated Writing was completed. The teacher writes out the story together with the pupils. She guides them and elicits responses from her pupils. She recalls the vocabulary and scaffolds the language for them.

Pupils are then given the opportunity to do their group writing.

After this enriching experience, pupils move on to their own individual writing.

Stellar Activities in Term 1

The P2 pupils did the Modified Language Experience Approach (MLEA) on Unit 2: Chicken Rice. We call the MLEA activity the "Smelling Experience". Pupils got to smell three different types of food packaging. Then, the pupils were to guess the name of each food. They wrote as a class for the class writing activity on the experienced they had for the day. Here are some shots taken during the activity:

Combining P1 and P3 Stellar activiites

Coincidentally, the P1 and P3 Stellar theme this week is on animals. The P3s had created books on animals for their MLEA. They were thus invited by Mrs Tay to read their works to the P1C students. The younger pupils were very enthusiastic and welcomed their older schoolmates warmly. The P3s were even requested to read the stories again as the P1s liked the stories so much. Self-directed learning took place as the P1s wanted to learn more about the animals and the P3s (who had done much research on their topics) were able to answer them.

Bernessa showing the P1s how gazelles escape from their predators

Andrew explaining about the habitat of the beavers

P1C pupils learning about the platypus and cheetah from Marcus and Xavier

Issac regaling the P1s with tales of the Giant Anteater

"Do you know where Chinchillas come from?", asked Nicole.

All smiles after the reading session

We love it and let's do this again soon!

P2A's visit to the LTA Gallery

Last Friday, 20th February, P2A went on a Learning Journey at the LTA Gallery. The children were very excited and eager to learn new things about the different modes of transport in Singapore.

They learnt how the different types of transportation have evolved from the past to the present. They climbed on the rickshaw and the mosquito bus. They also tried their hands at an interactive game towards the end of the visit. The game was testing them on their decision in choosing a particular mode of transport for Singapore 2020. Should there be more roads built? How about having more underground tunnels? But wouldn't that cost a lot in building and maintaining?

It was indeed an informative trip. Here are some pictures to capture the moment:

P2's Learning Journey - Visit to the LTA

The first learning journey for the P2s is to the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

Work of P2 pupils

During MLEA, pupils contribute to the Class Writing. The teacher writes what the pupils dictacte.

Then, pupils split into their groups for the Group Writing.

Thereafter, it is the Individual Writing whereby pupils write their story individually.

Below are some examples of pupils' work:
