Mr McGee written by Pamela Allen is a beautiful and funny story about a man who lives under his apple tree. One sunny day, he thought he would stand on a chair stacked on a chair, standing on a table. While he was up there, a rumbling made the chair and table fall to the ground leaving Mr McGee stuck up the tree. The rumbling was caused by three elephants, who use their height and trunks to free him from the branches. To thank them, Mr McGee invites them to tea, although one greedy elephant has other ideas. What happened next involves Mr McGee being flown through the air, landing in mud, and frightening the greedy elephant away! The story of Mr McGee is told in wonderful rhyme that loved by Kindy students. When we were reading the story, Kindy students showed their interesting and enjoyment of the story by asking questions, sharing their opinions, and just relaxed and laughed hard of the funny story. We also had a short play about Mr McGee visited the zoo and the kids loved to watch their friends in the play. It was very entertaining story and the play ran so fun. Kindy students did have fun.

Reflective activities happened in library by provided year 2 students with an opportunity to absorb information more deeply – enhancing their creative and understanding about the lesson. During their integrated unit, How We Organize Ourselves, Year 2 students shown their creativity in making book and illustrated it. Working in group of 3, students had opportunity in sharing their ideas and working collaboratively with their teammates to produce a picture book. They shared their ideas about the plot of the story, the characters, and the illustrations. Later on, students had opportunity to run an ACG Book Store in the library. They had discussion time to decide how much they want to sell their book and they tried to convince people to buy their handmade books. Students used dummy money to do the transaction. The ACG Book Store ran smoothly and students were having fun in learning. Britannica Encyclopedia School Edition was a really useful resource to help students research. Britannica School is a safe, up-to-date, and age-appropriate information resource for Elementary, Middle, and High School. With easy-to-read articles, reference and learning materials, Year 3 students utilize Britannica Online to help their findings about animals. They worked in pairs to find information about their chosen animal and by using their research skills, they tried to locate related information they needed to answer the given questions. Year 3 students really enjoy accessing information on Britannica Online because it has variety information they needed. Year 1 students had a fun session in reading Growing Vegetable Soup Story written by Lois Ehlert. This is a beautiful book with wonderful and vibrant illustration about how to grow plants and cook it to a delicious soup. When reading the book, Year 1 students were very enthusiastic in sharing their knowledge about planting and growing vegetables. After reading the story, we had an activity about My Garden Journal. The best way to do this is to get involved with some fun activity that go along with the book. Students had an activity about the 3 stages in growing a plant. They tried to illustrate the stage when “I plant a seed”, “the it sprouts”, and “when it is a plant”. With Year 1 UOI Who We Are - we were talking about personal family and the powerful aspects of the family photographs to show kids understanding about their own family. First, we had a discussion about different types of family and students were very excited in sharing about their family. Afterwards we had a fun activity in making family portrait book. Every student independently worked in creating own book by folding and gluing 2 color papers. They also drew their family portrait on the front cover and shared about their understanding about family on their book, such as grandparents, siblings, pets, and friends.
Students presented their family book to their peers in classroom. Year 4 Unit of Inquiry is The design of structures is dependent upon environmental factors, human ingenuity and available resources. Get to know about other school library is another exciting research study for student. Students decided to share about their home country school library. They started to discuss about how would they find information. Firstly, they browse through the internet sites to see what school they would like to share. They decided to find a school that has library information so that they are able to present it to classmates. Students discussed with friends to create open-ended questions to get detailed information during their research study from the internet. They also investigated the answers about their home country library. Students scanned for home country library information then they skim the information using their own sentences and write the information onto the provided paper. |
