Phonic 14 : Phonic Mat (A to Z)

Skill : Listening, Speaking, Reading

Year : Level One

Phonemic Awareness

Assalamualaikum and Hi! This is a special post, as it is a new innovation that I've made. Basically, the idea of creating Phonic Mat came from the Twister Game. It has plenty of colourful circles on a mat. So, to make it fun, I invented it into a Phonic Mat. I edited it and put letters A to Z on it. Later, I printed it in large size (5x6 and 5x9) to be played by the pupils.

A programme was held to launch and use this Phonic Mat. I am so glad that the pupils were able to use and utilise it fully. For me, it has plenty of uses which depends on how the teachers use it. I can say that this Phonic Mat not only helps in terms of Phonemes, but also colours, directions, counting and more. You just have to be creative in using it. 

I have been asked of why I did not make these Phonic Mats in one go? Well, initially it should be used separately which depends on the lesson of letters per day. As we all know, pupils have limited and short term memory in terms of learning new things. However, using this Phonic Mat on the last day of the programme (learning phonemes A to Z) helped them to remember better.

That's all. Thanks for reading! :)

LA 27 : My Origami T-Shirt

Lesson : Get Dressed!

Skill : Language Arts, Listening

Year : 2

What a late post! Sorry for that.

This was a pretty simple activity. We just made origami shirts since it was nearly the ending of World Cup 2018! So yeah, I asked the pupils to listen to my instructions to complete an origami t-shirt.

My sample

I only use these memo pads. Not a sticky note one. 

HOW TO DO IT?

1. Fold the memo pad into two. Then, cut it.
2. Keep the other half for the second origami t-shirt.
3. For better view, I recommended you guys to watch the tutorial video below :

My pupils really enjoyed of making this until they asked for more memo pads to make more. Well, I only able to give them one more different colour only because I have 96 pupils with total of 3 classes. haha! But, yeah, I asked them to exchange the paper with their friends to get more different colours. Finally, they decorated it and here there are!

That's all for now. Keep supporting by reading other posts too! Thanks! :)

LA 26 : My Magic Closet

Skill : Language Arts
Year : 2
Topic : Get Dressed

Assalamualaikum and Hi!

Here's another postponed post. Sorry for that. Well, this is a pretty simple activity. I still remembered on how me and my practicum partner, Debra encountered few difficulties to make this kind of magic back then for our school's event. But, this time, it worked well with me and my pupils.

Why do I called this activity as 'My Magic Closet'? Basically, this drawing can only be seen after you coloured them using watercolour. Yes. Let's see how to make one.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

• Drawing paper
• White crayons
• Watercolour
• Palette (to put colours)
• Brushes
• Water

• A big thanks to our PSV Panel for allowing me to use their materials for this activity. (They even asked if and only if I can teach PSV too. I just can't because I already have that 30 periods of English language. Haha!). 

HOW TO MAKE IT?

1. Draw the closet, and any clothes inside your closet using WHITE CRAYONS. 
2. Prepare the watercolour.
3. Slowly colour the drawing using that watercolour and you can see it reveals your drawings!
4. Done!

* I even made the pupils compared when they drew using other colour of crayons and when they only used white crayons. Yes, they preferred to use the white ones. After that, I let them pasted it in their exercise books.

Here's some of their works.

That's all people! Thanks for keep reading! :)
