In addition, they also get the opportunity to look at recipes and the various ingredients that are needed to make a dish. The recipes also teach them to do things step by step which sharpens their sequencing skills as they plan and coordinate during the process. When children are encouraged to read out the recipes and labels they also build up their vocabulary. These activities help build their literacy skills. Math skills come into play too and baking can be a great source of practical exercise for children to apply their prior knowledge such as arithmetic, fractions, decimals and time. There are so many skills that a child can pick up in cooking that this workshop is definitely going to benefit your child in the most fun way! |
FOUR LITTLE SILLY ZEBRAS SPELLING RULE CRAFTSHOPDate: 6 June 2019, Thursday
Time: 2 pm to 4 pm

Floss Rule is one of the first spelling rules in our Main Literacy Program's scope and sequence. During the workshop, students will not only be introduced to the rule through interesting game-like activities, but they will also get to make their very own Four Little Silly Zebras Hanging Mobile which they can hang at home. As children are often visual and kinesthetic learners, this workshop is a fantastic way for them to learn about Floss rule and apply them in their spelling. At the end of the workshop, students should be able to remember the four letters that need to be doubled when used to spell at the end of the word and after a short vowel e.g. stiff, spell, kiss, buzz. |

DYSLEXIA STRENGTHS DECATHLON BY ROD NICOLSON
As we continue to embrace dyslexia, we aim to produce and conduct workshops that focus on the strengths of our students with dyslexia. The chart above provides an overview of the skill areas that workshops are designed and how the skills that each workshop focuses on can enhance the strength/s of our students with learning differences. Each of these triads helps promote unconventional thinking among our students thereby helping them overcome their learning differences, by developing their own coping mechanism in their learning and their self-confidence.
