On a super plus side, class management was non existent because they were so focused!]]> 2022-02-28 03:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nor_azarizal_mohamed/fbnpac7um45gn68g/wish/2068759413 Malay Language/ P5 Budiman (Mr Hidayat) https://padlet.com/nor_azarizal_mohamed/fbnpac7um45gn68g/wish/2110798037 The past month, Wordle has taken the world by storm. It is a word game fashioned after an old IQ game called MasterMind.

In Wordle, instead of guessing the colours, players guess the word of the day/ letters. No clues are given. Players start with a five letter word (some players pick the word at random, others strategise by picking a word with a lot of vowels or frequently occuring letters in the English language.

A bot will evaluate the given word and provide clues to the player for the next guess. Wrong letters are coloured grey, right letters at the wrong places are coloured yellow and the right letters at the right places are coloured green.

It is a fun game that challenges the mind. Players have to work out numerous configurations in their minds, working with the letters and clues. It is a good mental workout and also helps to improve one's vocabulary.

Now, how did we apply this wonderful Wordle game to our Malay Language students?

Mdm Suhainis had the brilliant idea of playing Wordle with her P4 Cendekiawan students. She played a word, to be solved together as a class. Her students loved the activity. Mdm Suhainis shared with our Malay Unit and I decided to try it out with my P5 Budiman students. One difference I made was that the students have to solve the word puzzle individually, like the original game.

Students were given a piece of KATAPAT (Malay version of Wordle - KATA + TEPAT = KATAPAT) paper as shown in the picture above. After each line, they come to me to have their attempt checked. I used yellow and blue highlighters for the indications. They then return to their seats and try again and again until they arrive to the right answer.

Everyone had fun. I was quite pleasantly surprised at how well the game went. Initially I thought some students might not know how to play the game but they took to it like duck to water.

One problem I faced was that at some points, the queue to get their papers checked got too long.

I was thinking, maybe next time, I can get them to work in pairs, and they can assess and evaluate each other.

I will try this the next time and will report the results soon.]]> 2022-03-24 00:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nor_azarizal_mohamed/fbnpac7um45gn68g/wish/2110798037 Malay Language/ P5 Budiman (Mr Hidayat) https://padlet.com/nor_azarizal_mohamed/fbnpac7um45gn68g/wish/2110813145 The P5 Budiman students got very excited as I walked into class with the KATAPAT papers.

I explained to them that this time, they will work in pairs and will be assessing each other. They grew even more excited.

This is how Peer Assessed KATAPAT works:
Students work in pairs. Each pair will take on the role of player/ marker. Round one, player will stand and face the back while I flash the first word to the marker. They then start to play. The marker will mark by using a pencil to circle the right letter at the wrong place and a highlighter to highlight the right letter at the right place.

Once all are done with the game or the time is up, the pair change roles. A new word is given and they start the second game.

This worked so much better than if the game was played individually, with me marking each and every piece of paper. 

I shared with my Malay Unit and the teachers were excited to try with their respective classes. ]]> 2022-03-24 01:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nor_azarizal_mohamed/fbnpac7um45gn68g/wish/2110813145 Malay Language/ P3 Cendekiawan - Cikgu Nisa khairunnisa_mohd_isa https://padlet.com/nor_azarizal_mohamed/fbnpac7um45gn68g/wish/2149474433 Students Engagement - using coloured ice-cream sticks for Kahoot game

I tried using coloured ice-cream sticks to play Kahoot with my P3 students instead of using iPad or tablet.

Each student was given 4 coloured ice-cream sticks according to the colours of the Kahoot options. They wrote their names on each ice-cream sticks and they were told to safe keep the sticks for future use.

Students are excited and engaged throughout the activity. They showed confidence as they scrambled to raise the right coloured stick for each question.

Conclusion:

Physical manipulatives, in the context of education, are physical tools of teaching, engaging students visually and physically with objects such as coins, blocks, puzzles, markers, etc. The use of manipulatives is constructivist because students are actively engaged in discovery during the learning process.

According to education professor Dr. Jean Shaw, manipulatives are effective for the following reasons: they are multisensory, they represent ideas in more than one way, they promote communication among students, and they increase confidence, leading to lessened confusion and deepened understanding.

No doubt, technology makes learning fun. Combining the use of technology and alternative manipulative to vary our teaching will cater to the different types of learners. This will definitely benefit all our students in the class.

Students record their reading and upload the recordings on Padlet. Students can listen to their peers' recording and give encouraging words in the comment. 

Before students give comments to their peers, they are briefed to give comments according to the rubric/checklist given to them at the start of the lesson. This is to ensure no nasty or nonsensical comments posted (Cyber wellness education instilled) They must also write their names beside their comments, getting them to be responsible for their comments.

This Padlet canvas is specially created for Oral purpose. The Padlet is made available for students and parents to use as a revision guide.

In Unit 5, students learn about some Malay traditional food. For Lesson 2, they watched a video - Nasi Lemak Daun Pisang - where they learned about the traditional way of preparing nasi lemak. 

Initially, I had wanted to buy some banana leaves (previous batches of students got to use them for hands on lessons). But as I was unable to get my hands on any, decided to replace some green paper (good since lesser risk of tear too). We looked at some banana leaves online, drew the veins to make them more realistic. The students then listed down the side dishes present in a nasi lemak. They drew the side dishes and pasted them on the 'nasi'.  I gave them coconut flavoured swiss rolls to become the 'nasi' part since nasi lemak is essentially made from coconut. Then we folded the 'leaves' using the song from the video - Fold right, fold left, fold to the back. Fold left, fold right and fold to the back again (in ML-lah).

Ta-da. 'Nasi lemak' in 'banana leaves'.]]> 2022-04-22 00:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nor_azarizal_mohamed/fbnpac7um45gn68g/wish/2152808810 Michael / P4SA Math png_ban_seng_mi https://padlet.com/nor_azarizal_mohamed/fbnpac7um45gn68g/wish/2155702669 Rubrics such as this can be used for self-assessment to foster ownership of learning as well as self-management and self-monitoring.

- 321 Mona Lisa pose is such an awesome idea to use as attentional signal since it's Art lesson.
- Success criteria spelt out and explained in student's language so everyone understands. An art piece is wonderful visual to explain the SC.
 - When Ipads are used, one tends to think that the class will be noisy due to distribution and technical issues. But not true when teacher got the Art monitors to do the distribution. Students also make use of red card in student handbook to indicate 'help!' while the rest to progress on their own. Nice! 
- I had fun trying out the free colouring app while enjoying soft music in the background before taking a screenshot of my work to upload into see saw for formative assessment. And the students know how to do so too with exposure and experience.

When the answers were false, students need to give an explanation and provide the right answers. Of course, this strategy might not work for some classes where students are not confident or don't feel safe of the environment. So, building PCC is the key!  And I'm sure some will have other FA methods with your class. 

Learnt and saw the usefulness and effectiveness of role assignment in the science lab too. In each group, every student is number off. And teacher assigned roles to each number e.g #1 to collect sample; #2 to check noise leve etc. Works well especially in a congested room to inculcate responsibility. 

And I leant abt this inquiry method 'Predict-Explain-Observe-Explain' used with the HP class to work on critical thinking. New to me and i shall try it.

Instead of just asking them to do corrections, the teacher spent time to explain in detail the common mistakes made by the students and areas to look out for when doing their work. It was not a teacher centered lesson as teacher engaged the students in the discussion and areas to look out for when doing their activity book. After discussion, teacher wrote down the main points of discussion on the whiteboard so as to reinforce their learning.

Learnt and saw the benefit of getting students to look out for mistakes and provide the correct answers. In this way, they were more engaged and less likely to make the same mistake again in their work.

-  Strategic in the grouping for collaboration. Every group will have a 'mentor' to help the rest and an 'extrovert' who will help to raise members' thoughts or questions. 
- checking for understanding on the previous topic in beginning of lesson so to help them draw connections to current topic.
- Generated curiosity when students were asked to observe and write down as many things as they could using the magnifying glass. They were questions generated by students on " I wonder" at the end of lesson and they were prompted to research on these questions. 
- Personalised attention to the weakest one in each group to check their understanding while the rest continues with the collaborative work.

Students are assigned the task according to their need for support. This enables the LP students to be successful in their task by providing a higher level of scaffolding, greater structure, and more direction.

Students working in group to design and plan their group routine using written guidelines given by teachers. Initial planning is done on individual paper as a group.  Students than proceed to upload their final group planning onto Padlet.  This will avoid issue such as lost of paper in the future.  Students in a group can also access this routine anytime if they want.  Other groups may view and comment on others too.

For the P2 unit on healthy lifestyle, after creating a healthy plate plan, they made their own miniature clay plate and then we wrote a simple script based on individual plates. Using the Seesaw app, the students recorded themselves talking about their plate. Though some decided to stick to the plan and read from the script while video recording themselves, there were some who ditched the script and freestyled their own presentation. Either way, this was a good platform for students to practice their speaking skills as they tried their very best to present their own creations. - Suhainis]]> 2023-02-22 12:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nor_azarizal_mohamed/fbnpac7um45gn68g/wish/2491071222 P1 Music Lesson sg_pesta https://padlet.com/nor_azarizal_mohamed/fbnpac7um45gn68g/wish/2492126739 Learning from the teacher
- The use of welcome song to build PCC and tuning in is nice and warm. It created opportunities to do link movement to the song too. And the kids are attuned to the clapping and song as part of attentional signals when the students got too excited. 
- It is interesting for teacher to use pictures as well as observations of objects in class to activate prior knowledge and arouse their interests to the learning objective- high and low pitch 
- I learnt that frequent exposure to the notes/ pitch of music is the key to learning to help students develop good listening skill and thinking skill to categorize the notes. Like the students, I had fun identifying the pitch/ note by listening to different music.

Students were grouped together to look at the given questions with wrong answers. They have to discuss and come up with the correct answers. Collaboration is evident during discussion. The students are motivated and there is ownership of their learning. Students made use of the criteria stated to look for the mistakes in the comprehension answers.  Thereafter students have to show their answers and explain why their group marked it that way.  Members from other groups can raise their objections or feedback.  It's a good and interesting way to elicit students' responses.  Students can learn well in such a non-threatening environment.

She started the lesson by asking the students about the English oral exam that they had the previous day and they were excited to share their experience.

The lesson was a revision on reported speech which Ms Lim decided to revise on based on the feedback that she had gathered from marking the learning sheets.

The revision lesson was interactive and engaging as it was student-led. The students worked with their partner to come up with a direct speech which their peers had to change to reported speech. The students also had the opportunity to correct their peers and clarify their peers' misconceptions using a very systematic approach (TPTP and the spectacle rule).
