Hidden Artwork in the Schools

These schools in Paloh Hinai have hidden gems on their walls – created by past teachers, they stand in full glory waiting for admirers to stop in their tracks and wonder! With a few tasty words in English, pupils will be able to enjoy art and practice their English at the same time.  Anuar Mustafa, English teacher at SK Mambang, is an artist who has been designing a stairwell on his school campus with mural replicas of past masters. These will look really good as part of an English interactive environment.

Musical Words Activity

May 9, 2014
SK Pasir with Ms. Saffiyah and her grade 2 class.

Ms. Saffiyah class reviewing the phonics sounds /ee/, /ir/, /oy/, and /ai/.   She had four students hold up signs and called out the sound.  Students then ran to the correct sound.  Then she organized the students into a large circle and asked four new students to hold the signs for the phonics sounds.  Those children stood at the back of the hall facing the circle.  Ms. Saffiyah then handed a large folder to the students.  As she played the music the students handed the folder to the next student until the music stopped.  When the music stopped, the student holding the folder then had to take out a word, read and line up behind the correct phonics sound.  It was a lot of fun for the children.  This was a very well organized and thought out activity for reviewing phonics.

Creativity in the Classroom

May 1, 2014

I have had a great time working with several teachers in their classrooms.  They enjoy teaching and are very creative.  I want to highlight some of the wonderful lessons I have already participated in that teachers have designed for their students.  The students also enjoyed the lessons and were engaged and eager to participate.
