Building Our Own Savannah (MLEA Activity)

Dear Parents,


Here are some photos of our darlings building their very own savannah. For those of you who are puzzled about why we are doing this, here's a short explanation:

In the Stellar programme, we create common experiences for the boys so that we can use these experiences to carry out class writing or group writing. The Stellar programme believes that pupils will be able to write better if they have more enriching experiences. Through these experiences, the boys learn new vocabulary words as well as improve on their grammar as they learn to put sentences together. These knowledge will grow with more MLEA activities and they will eventually learn to write a piece of good story on their own.

A tip for parents: When you bring your kids out (on a shopping trip, to the zoo, overseas, etc), you can get him to write about it when he comes home. Writing about his trip will help him learn how to put his thoughts into words. Through this process, he will be able to learn more words as well as learning how to string his sentences together. This method is effective as he sees the practical usage of English (he would understand that he needs to learn English well so that he can write with minimum difficulty). And of course, parents, you need to play an active role here as they are still young and they do not know how to use a dictionary yet. So it would be very helpful (and less exasperating for them) to them if you could be around to help them with the spelling of words.

Alright, enough said, here are the photos!

• Buy Dettol wet wipes and bring it to school. Use this for your personal hygiene. (I noticed that many boys are falling sick, even myself. And the boys like to sneeze or cough into their hands. So I thought it would be good if the boys can bring this to school and use it. It's not compulsory, but it would be more hygienic and helps to prevent the spread of germs)

Maths

• Complete corrections in the ATM book.

English

• Reminder: Study spelling.

Thank you.
