光道小学 关怀4 班 2010

It has been a good week.

1. We have challenged the bugs and cockroaches in a hanyu pinyin games!
（photos will be uploaded shortly)

2. All pupils in the class have mastered 'a' , 'o' and 'e' . Well done!
(refer to first 10 second of this video for the sound)


3. Some will need more practise of the four tones. (refer to video)


4. Everyone did well for the writing of 'a' , 'o' and 'e'.

5. We are learning how to sing 'xiao fei ji' (Little aeroplane).

6. Pupils have learnt how to put worksheets in the yellow folder.

7. We are moving to 'i' 'u' and 'u with 2 dots on top' (pronounced as yu) sorry the symbol is not available in this blog. (refer to

8. 'Cooperative Learning' is one of the key pedagogies engaged this week. Pupils have been tasked to be 'little teachers' and pupils learn how to praise others when they have done well by saying 'ni zhen bang' (你真棒！= you are great!）

My Reflections:

1.The class is getting to know one another better. It is a relatively small class of 18 and as much as possible, I get all pupils to try at least once for each game.

2. Emphasis has also been placed on class rules. With a traffic light on the board, pupils know when its time to listen attentively (red), when it is alrite to discuss (amber) and when it is time to play (green).

3. Boys and girls are happy children. They mix very well, and some dance spontaneously to the music.

4. I will be assigning buddies to each pupil so as to allow them to help and remind each other.

5. In order for pupils to practise and apply outside the classroom, I will need to seek parents' help.
Pupils will be doing 'I can read' cards. I would need parents to sign each time they try and praise your child if he/she reads correctly.

6. Voice recording of their reading will be carried out and uploaded in weeks to come.

Thank you.
