English Learning Centre @ SK Kertau

TELL2 teachers Muhamad Harris Imran Bin Jamaludin and Engku Aishatul Ruhi Bt Engku Arif, as well as TELL2 mentors Tom James and Sarah Higgs, have been working extremely hard to complete SK Kertau's first English Learning Centre.  The previously  unused space has been converted into an open plan classroom with many relevant displays for all years, 1-6.  Muhd Harris notes that, "Using the English Learning Centre will be good for the pupils.  They can be excited to learn there and can be motivated.  We will start using it after the completion of exams this week."


Great work SK Kertau!

Brighton Kids English Club XVI

Our first Kids Club in May involved several new activities incorporating both new and old material. We played a card game to revise Q&A with actions, introduced new ways to speak about time using "tomorrow" and "yesterday", played with sentence scrambles, and did both pair reading and group reading! Everyone showed great energy and enthusiasm, and our reading pairs worked together very well. Each member helped his or her partner with difficult words, and when reading as a group, everyone participated, and asked very good questions! Good job, everyone!

Arts and Culture Carnival

On Saturday, May 9th, SK Chedong Jaya (Maran, Luit) participated in the Arts and Culture Carnival at SMK Sultanah Hajjah Kalsom in Kuantan. This event included a number of primary and junior high schools, all of whom contributed to specific aspects of Malaysian arts and culture. There were traditional Malay, Chinese, and Indian foods, games, clothing, music and instruments, and even Silat Malayu -Malaysian martial arts! There were dances and singing performances from many schools, and lots of food and recipe books prepared by the pupils themselves!
The culture booths, performances, demonstrations, and games showcased the hard work and enthusiasm for the arts held by all the pupils of the participating schools, and demonstrate the promise and talent carried by the individuals and their cultures in these wonderful schools. Thank you to Sumi (SMK SHK) for all her hard work in preparing this event!
Enjoy the photos! (And be sure to check the video at the very bottom of the page!)
