Photo of Xining during our Picture Talk.

# data[].attributes.body
2. Picture Talk- Xining shared a photo of her eyes. She said "I have two eyes. I have eyebrows and eyelashes".
3. Open-ended questions- I asked questions such as "What do you do to take care of your eyes?, "How do you clean your eyes?".
4. The children who presented were well prepared. The guided questions helped them to continue on discussions.
They shared "I have two eyes", "I have a nose that can smell" and other fun facts like "I blow my nose when I have mucus".
5. I think it is better to print these photos and use for learning corner activity or just display on the wonder wall for them to revisit.

# data[].attributes.body
I used wonder wall discussion for the activity. The children brought their simple machine crafts thus the use of wonder wall is a good opportunity for them to apply their learning on the topic. I started out with prompting questions - "What is the name of your machine? Which simple machine does it belong? How does your machine work?" These questions were asked prior to the start of the activity and they were given ample time to structure their answers.

The children used key words found on the wonder wall in their sharing. Majority of them were able to recall the respective simple machines that they created. With their consent, their friends were given opportunity to test out their simple machines. For the next communication activity, I will use wonder wall presentation as well however, I will have them to "go around the world" to share with one peer at a time about their craft/artwork. I believe this will help the quieter children to have a chance to share at a one to one level.

－展示与讲述活动，家长电邮给老师，幼儿去社区或名胜地的照片。在每个星期三进行展示与讲述活动。
－老师采用了开放式提问的方式促进幼儿讲述。老师问：＂这是什么地方？＂哲宇＇超级市场＂＂＂你在做什么呢？＂哲宇＂我买东西，在还钱。＂＂你买了什么？＂哲宇＂我买的苹果，乳酸菌。＂你觉得家的附近有超市好还是不好？为什么？＂哲宇＂有超级市场好。因为可以去买东西。妈妈和爸爸带我和哥哥去买。＂等。
－幼儿知道展示与讲述的礼仪，在讲述时能问好，自我介绍，讲述完后说谢谢。听的幼儿也能认真聆听。幼儿能简单地讲述，在老师
提问后能讲述的较多。
－在讲述前引导幼儿从地点，人物，时间，事情等六个方面，有条理地展开讲述活动。

1) Which communication activity did you use? (Show and tell/ picture talk/ wonder wall presentation)
Picture talk

2) What strategy did you use to facilitate the communication activity? (E.g. Use open ended questions/ Provide helping words on wonder wall/ show-and-tell etiquette/ question jar/ 5 senses prompt)
Open ended questions - I used open ended questions like "Can you tell us who's ear is this?", "What do you use your ear for?", "How can we take care of our ears?"

3) Describe what went well.
描述进展顺利的方面。
The children who had been prepared from home were able to share without  much prompts. The rest of the children were able to understand the questions and responded accordingly.

4) What were the children's responses?
The children were excited when they recognised their ears on the screen. Some families sent ear pictures of other family members as well and the children were also able to identify which family member it belongs to. Maxime and Naytran were even able to explain that they managed to match the ear to each family member by their physical appearances (wear earrings, wear glasses)

5) How would you do this differently?
I would like to have a volume meter to encourage children to speak louder. I would also like to conduct the activity in the MPR instead of in the classroom as it might be more conducive for children to speak and hear each other.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The children did a show and tell of the simple machine that they build at home together with their parents.

2. Wonderwall presentation
The children played a game where they each got a picture of an item that is of a simple machine. When the game started, the children are to group themselves according to what simple machine they are. Then, each group will take turns presenting their cards and simple machine before sticking it onto the wonder wall.

3. The children really enjoyed the game and were able to identify the different simple machines their items consist of.

4. The children were able to share confidently together with their group on their items and their simple machine. The children were even able to articulate when their item were part of 2 different types of simple machines. "The scissors is both a lever and a wedge."

5. At the start of the game, I would include "going around the world", where the children would walk around when the music. When the music stops, the children are to look for a partner and share about their item and simple machine.

# data[].attributes.body
1) The communication activity used was Picture Talk.

2) I facilitated the communication activity using open ended questions so that the children were able to share more about their pictures. I also started the session by reminding children of the etiquettes that should be practised by both the speaker and audience.

3) The open ended questions aided children as prompts. This enabled them to speak more confidently in front of their peers.
4) The topic was not as exciting to the children compared to the previous Rescue Vehicle inquiry project topic. Therefore the did not have many questions for the speakers unless someone spoke about ‘Seletar Mall’ or ‘Compass One’ where it sparked excitement in them.

5) In a follow up activity, I used Google Earth and projected it to the Apple TV. This enabled them to see the street view of our centre and children then asked where were their houses located in relation to our centre’s location. We did the 3D version of the neighbourhood. Perhaps it would have been more effective to let children  do their Picture Talk after the neighbourhood was built. Children could have been able to visualise what was shared on a clearer note.

1、展示与讲述
2、采用了六何法提出问题，引导幼儿介绍自己妈妈的工作性质。
提问：
1）你手里拿的是什么？
2）这是谁的东西？
3）这个东西是做什么用的？
4）在什么时候可以用到它？
5）为什么要用到它？
6）如果没有用这个东西会怎么样？
3、幼儿都可以根据问题回答，他说：这是我妈妈的。我妈妈说它可以装很多不同的东西；可以把东西装在里面，从一个国家运到另一个国家；他还告诉我们东西装进去后要把们锁好，要不然东西会掉出来。
4、幼儿很自信地介绍自己妈妈的职业，他可以根据老师提出的问题进行回答，只是在回答的过程中声音有点小，语速又有点快，需要老师在一旁引导。
5、如果再进行这个活动，会尝试用五官法进行提问。

1. Post Fieldtrip drawing show and tell

2. The communication activity I used was called “Going around the world”
The children would walk around the classroom and when I say “freeze” the children would have to get into groups of 2. The children will then have to introduce the drawing in hand to their peer and share about the drawing. After sharing the children will have to exchange their drawing with their peers and we would continue walking around the world again. The children will exchange for about 3 more times to explore other friend’s drawings.

3. I provided the children with rules and steps on how to share their drawings with their friends.
- Walking feet
- Gentle hands
- Introduce whose drawing you’re holding
- Share what playground simple machine did the friend draw.

4) The children enjoyed this activity as it involves the children to be on their feet and interacting with more than 1 friend. This was a good opportunity to encourage children to share with their friend in a smaller group setting, setting the base for the children to build confidence for show and tell.

5) “This is Esabella’s drawing, she drew a see-saw and the see-saw is an inclined plane”
“ This is Zhe Yu’s drawing, he draw the playground slide, the red one that we play just now. The slide is inclined plane!”

6) I would like to extend the activity further by allowing the children to sit in a circle and do a final sharing of the drawing they ended up with at the end of going around the world.

1. 看图说话-爸爸妈妈的职业
2.我使用了六何发的开放性提问策略，引导并鼓励孩子多提问;展示与讲述的礼仪，鼓励讲述的人在讲述时声音响亮，勇敢自信，同时也借助问题罐帮助幼儿丰富提问内容。
3.进展顺利的方面：讲述的孩子愿意在老师的鼓励下大胆自信发言，提高声量，尽量让每个人都听得到，我也会让幼儿坐成一个半圆，更近距离地聆听幼儿的讲述。家长将幼儿说话的内容写在纸上，老师也可根据纸上的提示帮助讲述的幼儿更全面地讲解父母的职业特点。幼儿在活动中，对韵恩妈妈的工作很好奇，因为第一次听说研究员的职业，他们对此提出了很多问题。我将问题收集起来，写在便条上，请韵恩带回家问父母，家长以电邮的方式给出解释，我再将家长的答复图片打印出来，在老师的引导下请韵恩再次像大家讲解。
4.孩子们通过这次家园活动，了解了很多不同的职业，他们们得知有的同学的家人是警察或军人时，会在班上和这些同学沟通交流，会模仿军人的样子排队。
5.改进：我会专注于幼儿使用准确的华语提问。目前幼儿的提问能够用华语说出关键词，但还不能用完整的话语句子表达。

# data[].attributes.body
1.展示与讲述《我最喜欢的车》。
2.我使用了谈话与提问的方式能够进行分享。
3.礼涵拿着汽车:大家好，我今天拿的是吊车，这是妈妈买的。
4. 老师引导他分享完后，请其他幼儿进行提问。
5. 见蒽说：“吊车可以坐几个人？”老师带领大家一起进行讨论。
6老师请幼儿举手上前提问和探索，峰恺拿着吊车说“有四个轮子，都是黑色的。”
7最后让礼涵示范如何操作车子。

幼儿们都愿意积极参与讨论和分享自己的车。
如果下次可以鼓励幼儿大胆地站着朋友前，用完整的华文句子进行分享。

1) Term 2 Parental engagement - Picture talk of children in the neighborhood
2) Communication strategy used was using open ended questions for the presenter as well as for the audience to ask
3) What went well was children showed improvement being an audience and presenter. Rules have to be reminded before every session and sometimes we review what was shared after the session
4) some of the Children's responses include -What did you do at the place?
-Why is the playground called a market playground?
-Who did you go with?
-I also like this playground like Jordan.
5) using the apple tv would increase engagement so I will try next time like how we did picture talk for our inquiry project

这是我们每周三进行的展示与讲述活动，幼儿从家里带来具有有效期的包装纸袋或者物品来进行讲述。我通过问题罐的方式让小朋友进行讲述，同时，小朋友们也能够通过问题罐对讲述的小朋友进行提问。

小朋友非常喜欢展示与讲述环节，也有很多小朋友非常积极的从家里带物品来学校讲述。

一开始孩子们还比较害羞，随着时间的推移，小朋友们都很期待周三，因为有讲述活动。但是因为有效期对孩子们来说非常陌生，在家里家长也不是很能明白这个词汇，所以孩子们都比较生疏，提出的问题和讲述的问题都比较浅显或者无关这个活动。以后再做这样活动的时候，我会多在课程中进行活动梳理，拓展他们的词汇量，让他们在讲述时更加自然。

Picture Talk: What's in my Neighborhood? - Exercise Corner

# data[].attributes.body
There were some guiding questions on the display board such as 'Where is this place?', What do you see?', ' What is the person in the picture doing?', 'Who are the people in the picture?'

During the sharing, I prompted questions and ask the children to describe the environment, the person's attire, assessment of the place and would they recommend the location for their friends to visit. The other children connected to their prior experiences and shared their thoughts too.

To include other children in this experience, I could have suggested the child to demonstrate some of the locomotor skills such as balancing, jumping from height and sliding as shown in his photographs to his peers.

# data[].attributes.body
The children were tasked to find a simple machine at home and take a picture of it or create a simple machine using recycled materials.

For this child, since she brought a simple machine, she engaged in a show and tell.

I used the open ended questions strategy to help her talk more about her simple machine. Through this, the other children were also asking her questions pertaining her simple machine.

I would provide the children a 'pretend' microphone as some of the children were rather soft during the presentation. Hopefully by doing that, it will give them a boost of confidence.

2) Which communication activity did you use?
Picture talk of sharing of their eyes and ears of themselves and/or family member.
2) What strategy did you use to facilitate the communication activity?
Close and open ended questions
- please share with us about your picture.
- how was the photograph taken?
- how do you know whose eyes and ears is it?
- what kind of lines or shapes do you see in your ear/eye?

3) Describe what went well.
4) What were the children's responses?
In general the children were excited to share about their photo. I remember rhodey sharing about how his mother took photo of his father's ear and he described it very clearly to everyone such that we could visualise it. Yixi and Maegan also shared and showed everyone that their ears were like a semi circle.

5) How would you do this differently?
如果这个活动再做一次，您会做什么更改？
- having a mat to tell children where to stand when speaking
- having a volume meter to have children speak louder for everyone to hear clearly.

1）使用哪一种交流活动？
-展示与讲述《我最喜欢的车》

2）使用什么策略以促进交流活动》
-开放式和封闭式的提问：
1.你喜欢这辆车吗？—封闭式提问
2.你为什么喜欢这辆车？-开放式提问
3.谁会用到这辆车？—封闭式提问
-教导礼仪：老师示范正确流程以引导小朋友在开场时微笑打招呼，展示与讲述中以适当的姿势物品，以及在离场时致谢和再见。

3）描述进展顺利的方面：
活动流程：白板画图复习对各类车辆名称的认识-老师示范展示与讲述的步骤，重点强调开场白和立场致谢-邀请小朋友依次进行展示与讲述-总结活动。
大部分小朋友都能积极配合和参与活动，小朋友们的勇气可嘉，纷纷争先恐后举手去展示，敢于大胆参与不怯场。

4）孩子们的反应：
-俊崧能在引导下回答出完整的华语句子。
—部分小朋友能记得在登场时弯腰打招呼并介绍自己的名字：“大家好，我是XX。"在立场时弯腰致谢：“谢谢大家。”

5）改进：
1在本次活动前，利用多媒体教学带小朋友更深入了解各类车辆的基本特点和用途，使小朋友对自己喜欢的车有更多的知识储备，以在展示与讲述中更顺利地表达自己的想法。
2.活动前强调小朋友对在进行展示与讲述的同伴给与尊重，保持安静和专心倾听。

1）使用的交流活动是——展示与讲述《我最喜欢的车》
2）促进交流活动的策略如下：
使用开放式提问——为什么会选择这辆车来做展示与讲述的分享？如果可以，你会给你的车取什么名字？为什么会取这个名字？
提供帮助词：车头、车尾、车门、车窗、车灯、轮胎、雨刷、后备箱、挡风玻璃、车顶、后视镜、方向盘、座椅、安全带。
5种感官提示：车的颜色？车的声音？车如何行驶？——回力车。这辆车是什么时候买的？这辆车是谁买给你的？这辆车是在哪里买的？
3）进展顺利的方面：
-小朋友们的兴趣和积极性相对较高。
-在帮助词和开放式提问的策略下，展示与讲述的小朋友能进行相对流畅而完整的表述。
“大家好！我是亚瑟。这是我带来的小汽车。它是橙色和黑色的。我很喜欢它的颜色，它的车门可以打开，也可以关上，我在里面放了一个小玩具。”
4.孩子们的反应：
-小朋友们很喜欢车，所以都很兴奋！在亚瑟完成展示与讲述后，老师询问他是否愿意与朋友们分享交换车来玩，在得到肯定答复后。他可以选择坐姿端正，认真聆听的朋友，说出对方的名字后，把车送到他面前。轮流分享玩车。
-个别小朋友有偶尔扣脚和捡树叶的行为。
-观众里主动举手提问的小朋友一直都是相同面孔：衡宇、敏恩、梓绮、语熙、静恩、婧璇和亚瑟。
-部分小朋友在分享时除了自我介绍，其他都需要以问答的简单句来进行。
5.如果再做一次，我可能会做以下更改：
-提前带领小朋友进行车的组成部分的学习
-进行不同车辆的特点和用处的学习
-在白板上画出车辆并标注各部分名称，帮助小朋友理解和记忆
-将人数一半进行区角活动，一般进行小组的展示与讲述，然后交换进行一次
-在展示与讲述前与家长沟通，邀请他们在家里进行陪练

2) Which communication activity did you use?
Picture talk - Ryan sharing his father's ears to his friends.

3) What strategy did you use to facilitate the communication activity? (E.g. Use open ended questions/ Provide helping words on wonder wall/ show-and-tell etiquette/ question jar/ 5 senses prompt)
Etiquette - at the beginning of the activity, the children were reminded of the class rules and how should they behave when someone is talking in front.
Open-ended questions - During the session, Ryan were asked questions like "Who's ear is that?" "How did you know it is you father/mother's ear?" "How do take care if your ears at home?"

4) Describe what went well.
We have quite a number of responses from parents and so it make this session possible. For children who does not have pictures, we used the picture from previous activities and cropped it.

5) What were the children's responses?
While Ryan was sharing, other children started to share their own experiences too and the different ways how they care for their ears. Ryan also shared a good observation on how he can care for his ears and shared "My hair touch my ears and it makes my ear itchy. So, I asked my mummy to cut my hair for me so my ears will not be itchy anymore."

5) How would you do this differently?
I would extend it through game called "Who am I" wherein children will hide behind a curtain with tiny hole that can fit their eyes or ears. Then, the other children will have to make a guess who'w eyes/ears are those."

2. 我们使用了展示与讲述活动。
讲述之前先讨论展示和讲述的技巧和礼仪，再使用开放式问题引导幼儿讲述。
3. 顺利的方面是 越来越多的家长乐意提供照片，幼儿有预先在家练习。幼儿表达的自信心有稍微的进步。
4. 其他幼儿看到朋友所带来的照片，会积极分享自己也去过同样地方，游乐场、公园、圣淘沙、滨海湾花园。
幼儿一般都用一句话概括自己的活动照片，不能较多的描述场所的特征，依赖老师提出的问题再进行描述。
5、当幼儿带来照片，预先和幼儿或父母进行个别的交流，让幼儿在朋友面前讲述的自信心增强，能描述得更流畅。

K1 Kindness 2 Xu Fei LaoShi
1）展示与讲述
2）我请幼儿们在展示之前都使用自我介绍，之后，请幼儿们先自己介绍物品，之后，我会请幼儿们使用五种感官提示的方式提问。幼儿们使用儿歌的语言及学习过的提问来进行？比如四个轮子什么车？/这是什么车？里面有谁？这是一辆XXX车，里面没有司机和乘客等。
3）幼儿们对于车都很感兴趣，他们都可以描述出车的一些特征（颜色，形状，轮子数量，车灯，车窗等），这是一种什么特殊的车，车的用处，以及车上的标准。
4）幼儿们现在可以讲多一些，不是很害羞，讲话的声音有一点小。
5）我会让家长参与多一些，给幼儿们写问题，玩具车与真实的车的区别，请家长帮忙查询，让幼儿们回来学校再次展示和讲述。

# data[].attributes.body
1.展示与讲述《我最喜欢的车》。

2.我使用了《五感提问卡》促进幼儿之间的交流，以及提供句式让幼儿能够进行分享。

3.由于给幼儿提供了句式，幼儿都能够进行简单的展示与讲述活动。并且，其余充当观众的幼儿也能够针对五感提问卡进行提问。

4.思家拿着汽车：大家好，我是陈思家，这是我的救护车。

星乐拿着画着耳朵的提问卡问：有声音吗？

思家发出“哔啵”的声音来进行回答。

乐康拿着眼睛的提问卡问：是什么颜色？

思家一边指着救护车上的颜色一边回答：红色、白色、黑色。

俊熙拿着问号卡：可以做什么？
