How to make lessons engaging and interesting for students from different levels using stories and ICT (Canva/Nearpod) etc.

Mrs Nadan's zest in leading the lower primary to achieve the LOs in her lessons through hot seating is very creative.

Experiences has been fairly good. My lesson is at last 2 periods of a Friday - that poses some readiness time to be invested so that children can focus back.

I've employed group work and inquiry based dialogue to make peer learning/sharing possible and thus making the leason more engaging.

Being a first time SS teacher at P6, Farah was extremely helpful and I didn't find it challenging because she was always there to support and guide.

Taking P5 SS this year has been very challenging as I have not been trained in the New SS syllabus. Great that I was able to learn from the sharing done by other P5 SS teachers.

Sharing of Nearpod lesson by Farah. Very engaging and interesting.

My P5 classes required D.I. due to the literacy abilities.

Who has impacted us this year:

The teachers who had done lesson sharing. All the presenters shared very interesting and different strategies used to engage the students. This gave us many ideas on how to utilise different ICT and CL strategies to deliver the lesson.

High point:

Our students internalised and exhibit the values thought in SS class even out of the classroom.

SLL is too difficult in wording for lower block classes. Took a longer time to unpack rather than doing the reflections. Perhaps at the questions are not exactly age appropriate.

# data[].attributes.body
Done well:

Enjoyed learning from the different sharing during TTT by Pearlie and Mrs Nadan. Allowed me to see how SS is taught at different levels and differentiated, as well as the range of resources available.

High point:

Revamping the P6 performance task and seeing the completed projects.

The level teachers appreciated the one point access to resources.

Nature of the task allowed students to be self-directed, and they had chances for self-discovery through the planning and research of their choice of innovation.

The use of Canva enabled students to express their learning in creative ways and enhanced their presentations.

Challenges faced and why:

Teachers did not have the time to use Kahoot quizzes in class due to 1-period time constraints.

Can we use non-ICT platforms for FAs too? If not, can we use classpoint instead of Kahoot?

Certain topics are unrelatable for pupils (eg. SARS topic on "Don't forget your thermometer").

Some questioning/topics requires higher order thinking. Certain lower pri students are not ready for these critical-thinking questions (too profound). Required a lot more scaffolding than expected and took up more periods.

Nearpod

Classpoint (for Pearlie)

More ICT platform

# data[].attributes.body
1. Getting students to be interested in the past. Not everyone is interested in history or how things came to be.

2. Have to include extra details or anecdotes/resources to explain the painting/pictures and pages in the textbook.

3. Eg. Students can't wrap their head around there's no internet when their teachers are growing up, much less how slow news moves around in the world 200 years ago.

# data[].attributes.body
ICT --> can we explore how selected ICT tools can be used during TTT? We will feel more confident to carry it out in class.

Lesson slides can include more videos that shows authentic context (eg. RHD or national day celebrations in our school or with our students). This will help pupils to make a personal connection with these events, especially for Lower Pri students who may not have seen these occasions firsthand.

# data[].attributes.body
Some challenges is seen with respect to interest in Historical events. Some information seems like a bore and not technological or savvy.

Often have to bring in anecdotes, personal experiences and current issues to link up with topic ideas. Eg. SG Long island/ SG Masterplan when touching on early SG town planning; Personal experiences when talking about War, Early settlement - current foreign/PR students in class and their dynamics were shared.

Challenges reasons:

Was it too early in the year to be doing a performance task. Some skills needed to be taught prior.

Support needed:

minor revamp of term 1 SOW
