Bachok-Pasir Puteh Cluster TELL2 & Beyond: Terrific Presentations At The TPD

On the 5th of May, it was the second to last TPD of TELL2. It was located at the old PPD in Pasir Puteh. The TPD was dedicated to Teachers' presentations. Every school was assigned a topic based on the KSSR syllabus according to a specific grade level. The assignment was to present a fun alternative lesson from the book that can be replicated by other schools. First of all, every school did themselves proud. However, I'm going to highlight three of the presentations.

Teacher Sabariah, Teacher Tengku Khairani and Teacher Zuraida (SK Padang Pa' Amat) presented on Year 1, Unit 13 Good Deeds. The Teachers created a good deed vocabulary based board game. The group supported their board game with a power point.

The power point was on How To Play: 1. Make groups of 4-5 2. Place all picture cards in the holder 3. Take turns rolling dice 4. If the die lands on 5, move steps 5. Locate the picture that explains the verbal description of the good deed in the space (ex: SWEEP MY ROOM) 6. If the wrong picture is placed, you loose the turn and start over 7. If the space is occupied with a picture, you must start over 8. First person to finish,is the WINNER!!! Nice Job SKPPA!

Next, the Teachers from SK Kampong Berangan were given the task to present on Year 3, Conjunctions (and, but, or). Teacher Mazwan, Teacher Rofia'ah and Teacher Siti Hazura decided to incorporate Frog VLE for their presentation. The Teachers used SCORM package Looking For Gold to liven up the lesson. The teachers built an all school accessible site for BI Year 3 Grammar Conjunctions, Looking For Gold. It is made up of an Introduction, Learning 1(and), Practice 1, Learning 2(but), Practice 2, Learning 3(or), Practice 3 and Evaluation (and, but, or). Unfortunately, they had no access to the internet and were required to hotspot wifi, which was lacking in strength.

The teachers were graceful as they had to tackle a few technological difficulties during the presentation. They persevered and were able to demonstrate the Introduction, Learning 1 and Practice 1. The crowd was fascinated with high definition quality of the lesson and it earned SKKB a tie for 3rd place finish. Great Job SKKB!

Finally, the number one, peer voted, presentation went to SK Panggong. Teacher Ros, Teacher Zailina and Teacher Zuriana who gave a top-notch exhibition of Let's Go Fishing. They were assigned Year 1 Vocabulary Review; however, adapted their activity for Years 1-3. Let's Go Fishing is a fun, colourful and creative activity for Vocabulary Review. The teachers prepared a power point to bolster their kiddie pool, poles, fish words and fish pictures. 1. Spread out lots of picture cards In the beautiful pond (60 pictures or words). 2. Put the kids into groups of about 5 or 6. 3. Every team has a pole which has a clip on the bottom of it. 4. The teacher tells them a category (ex: Animals, Fruits, Occupations and Vegetables) 5. They tried to fish and search the word cards or picture cards. 6. Fill in the form of worksheets in groups.

It was obvious that SK P's presentation was over-the-top. The student centred activity displayed lots of preparation, creativity and panache. If that wasn't enough, they also displayed a phonics review of Consonant Vowel Consonant vocabulary words. They had flashcards with a picture and two letters of a CVC word. The missing letter's space had a strip of velcro (zip-zap) and the students most locate the correct letter from a pile of letters with velcro. When they place the correct letter in the space it completes the word. The pictures help students comprehend the word. It's a wonderful exercise for LINUS students as well. Superb Job SKP! You deserve to be on Cloud 9!
