a) Sharing of Storybook
* Jn volunteered to tell her story: “the three silly Goats”. However, she was unable to start. So, I prompted her with questions and she found her confidence.
* The lesson she learnt was “We should not quarrel or fight. We will lose out. We should tolerate our friends.
b) Sharing of MERDEKA!
* Half of the class watched the MERDEKA countdown. They shared their experience.
JH : I watched TV8 on Merdeka.
ZY : I saw them performing the Hibiscus, red flower
JN : I saw the flags.
JS : There were many people.
ZYg : There were also aeroplanes and helicopters.
LX : I saw Datuk Lee waving at the King. He played at the Olympics.
JN : The king and Queen were wearing yellow suits.
c) English Reciting Poem
* My story: As I cycled down the seaside, I wanted to sketch a scenery. Suddenly I was attracted to a brown bird, butterfly and the dancing leaves
* We recited together.
* Next, the kids divided themselves into 3 groups to represent the brown bird, the butterfly and the sea waves.
* They enjoyed making the movements as the poem was recited.
d) Selamat Hari Raya
T : Did you ask you parents what fasting is about?
JS : cannot eat.
T : Good but why?
YZ : So that they can feel the lives of the poor people.
T : Correct, the unfortunate ones…….
* They got to know about the Ramadhan market that sells all types of desserts and food.
* After one month, they will celebrate ‘Selamat hari Raya”. What’s that.
ZY, YZ : Its their Chinese New Year……..
T : haaa…….it’s actually Malay New Year.
Video clip
* They had to observe the clip besides listening to the song called “Suasana Hari Raya”.
* They mumble among themselves what they saw.
* In the class, they drew the pictures they saw from the clip. Marks were awarded.
* ZYg drew “lemang”, the bamboo rice. JN drew flowers. YZ drew a house. ZY drew the happy people greeting one another.
* I added the lights used for decoration. In Malay, its called, “pelita”.
T : Why did they light the pelite?
ZY, JN : To scare away the thieves.
T : Haaa……Today, they are more for decorations. In the past, they were used to invite their ancestors to join them for Hari Raya Celebration.
