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.

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

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