Science & English Yr 2 - Human Needs

Just like Aidan, Aimar just couldn't get enough of Minecraft. As for the first chapter that he learned in Science subject for Yr 2 is about human basic needs, i put up a minecraft challange to suit his level. 

I asked him to create a world with all the four elements of basic needs. 

Unlike Aida, his creation was ok, but somehow, i knew he wanted to complete the task as soon as possible rather than focusing in being creative. Just typical Aimar and something that I can work on with him to nurture the creativity in himself. 

Arabic - Colours

It's tough job. Even the colours and nouns have genders. 

Arabic - Birds & Animals

Though the boys have memorized a lot of surah from the Juz Amma, I realized that they still stumbled and got confused with the arabic letters. To teach them all over again of alif,ba,ta will be a different game. I have to make it interesting and let them pick up indirectly. 

Arabic - Family and Relatives

Oh my, I knew arabic was complicated, but I couldn't imagine it's 'this' complicated. They have different names which are totally different for the father's and mother's side. hmmmm....

For now, all we have to do is memorizing. 

Science & English Yr 2 - Animals

An idea came when I realized Aimar's vocabulary is much worrying as compared to Aidan when he was at the same age. Though the science subject in school is taught in Malay, i'm opting to teach him in English so that he can add up his vocabulary and after all most reference are in English. take it or leave it. 

Aimar learned about animal this week. Funny that the syllabus taught about the animal classification based on its reproduction i.e. lay eggs or give birth and also about the way the animals eat i.e. vegetables only, meat only or both. somehow, he wasn't be taught on the scientific names such as mammals, reptiles, omnivores, carnivores etc.. that's a funny thing introducing animal science to an 8-year-old students. i read the KSSR summary, and confirmed, they did not teach the scientific names of animals classifications yet. so when will that be?

Anyway, i had fun compiling the details from the net. and here we go.

BM Thn 4 - Peribahasa I

Belajar bahasa bukan sesuatu yang mudah. Tambahan pula bila bahasa ibunda kita ini amat berbeza dengan bahasa pasar dan bahasa suratan. 

Banyak komunikasi media di zaman ini di dalam bahasa Inggeris. Antara cara untuk mengayakan bahasa malaysia Aidan, saya rasa perlu untuk saya perjelaskan peribahasa dan simpulan bahasa yang kebiasaan kita guna dengan cara kehidupan harian. 

Ini percubaan yang pertama.

English Yr 4 - Idioms I

I wanted Aidan to remember and use idioms appropriately as often as possible. 

As he's not interested in reading fiction book like his mama, i put up a minecraft challange so he can relate to what i'm trying to teach him. 

Mind you, he was so eager to complete the challenge, and i'm on my trying to understand the game.
