Kids love sand.

I would raced ahead to the water but my children would start gawking and be amazed.

Locating a spot for picnic would be a tug of war as they constantly kicking the sand, picking up shells
and whining for us to stop and sit down.

They made houses of all shapes and sizes. Amateur works mainly.

I love how their ideas flow, imagination taking its course but I just hate becoming a referee when power struggles emerge.

I think, making something it is just human nature. It is an innate ability.

Parents and teachers should let the creativity flow once in a while in the classroom.

Through proper time and channel, pupils will be empowered in their learning and be accountable towards it.

These slides are not mine. I upload them for sharing purposes.

I hope you will find it useful.

By the way, I love the presentations. Congratulations to all the presenters!

Thank you for sharing.

May Allah reward you.

My grandma's was a wooden house built on stilts and have 2 staircases. One for the front door and back.

It was a small house with 2 bedrooms, wet and dry kitchen and a hall.

I remember playing with my cousin at my grandma's house when I was little.

We used to stomp our feet because we love the sounds of the wood.

While the elderly find it chaotic, we love to do it until they chased us off to the ground!

This is an extraordinary holiday!

It suits a child's imagination.

I just hope the author would end the poem in a bang!

Woodpecker.

A bird, easily distinguish from the rest of the gang.

As a child, I can identify this bird (in pictures, of course) in a blink of an eye!

In this poem, it portray the bird as a guest knocking on door. Unfortunately, the host is not in and the Woodpecker keep on knocking without understanding.

Questions:

1. Why does the Woodpecker keep on knocking?
2. It is in his nature to keep knocking?
3. What is the difference between the woodpecker and a person knocking on doors?
4. If you are the Woodpecker, what would you do?
5. What do you think of this poem?

Teacher can post these questions to spark some discussion on the bird.

Teacher can create curiosity in pupils by throwing questions.

They might not know the answer but it is enough to poke their mind.

This poem allows for variety of kinaesthetic activities for children.

Children love to move about and do things because they learn by doing.

I find this type of activities suit most type of learners in particular the weaker learners.

Weaker learners feel less intimidated as the language learning is camouflage by the movement.

The repetitious nature of the activity enable them to listen, do and say until they are able to produce it.

I love to use kinaesthetic activity during my teaching days as I can get full attention and participation.
