April Adventures

Time to meet some of the students from the April English program! April English is relatively new at Saha, and has only been in operation since March. These students are younger, from Grade 1 to Grade 6, and generally newer to English than their CDI peers.

This is a typical April English student, full of beans. His name is Ronnie, but his classmates prefer to call him "Running Machine".

This is Kane. He is missing his two front teeth, so he looks a little vampire-ish. Is he doing the classic rock guitar move "the windmill"? Is he doing the '80s school dance move "starting the mower"? Who knows...

This is Seed 1, in a jovial mood before class. Ross (arm slightly showing far left) this week declared that Sally (far right) "had love for him". Sally was not impressed.

And this is Seedbed 2-1, getting ready to learn some sounds. They are not asleep. When one kid hides from the camera it spreads like wildfire.

Rounding out this post is Seedbed 1-1. They are learning the sounds "ip" and "ig". They are very good at reciting the following rhyme:

How many pigs are on the rig?
Just one pig is on the rig!
The pig has big hips.
The pig has big lips!

Which is the best-behaved class you've seen so far?

'Til next time!

Joon's Map of the World

Joon (안준모) drew this map of the world on the whiteboard before class today.

I can see Korea very well. However, 'Eurpe' is normally spelled 'Europe'.
Also, there seem to be some countries missing from this map. Can you think of any countries that are missing?

Thanks Joon!

Island For Sale

Some students have drawn some good pictures lately. Click on them to make them bigger!

This is a map of Kelly's house (신효원). Kelly's family must study very hard because they have a book room. They also have a field in their apartment, right next to the toilet.

Victoria (서수빈) is very good at drawing because she goes to art school. She began this drawing in class, but finished it at her home. Victoria's family look very happy.

Another Kelly (손민정) from a different EC3 class drew this picture. It's a scene from one of our favourite books, 'Island For Sale'. Roxanne fell into the water because she was standing up and moving in the boat!

Here is a picture of Julie's house (김민정). Julie is an expert at memorisation and usually gets an A+ every week!

Sofia (이소미) drew this picture, also from Island For Sale. Duncan, Roxanne and Leaping Larry are in a boat. It looks like they are floating on a sea of milk, but in the story they were on the ocean. I'm not sure where the dogs went. Good job Sofia!

And here are some of the students whose work we just looked at! From the back: Jessie, Harry, Jasmine, Julie, Emily, Heather, Jennifer and Kelly.

Thankyou for your good drawings!

More friendly students from Mr Lee's classes

English Chip 3 is always a fun place to be!

In this photo are John, Kevin, Annie, Kelly, Victoria and Sally. They are excited in this photo because it's time to go home.

And on the other side of the classroom are Alyssa, Sofia, Jessie and Justin. These students all do very good homework!

And here they are studying hard. Right now, Mr Lee's class are reading 'Amazon Rally', which is about a motorbike race in the Amazon Jungle. Do you know which country the Amazon is in?

This is Daniel who likes to sit at the back of the class. Daniel is always in a happy mood and likes to write his own stories.

And here is a close-up photo of Sofia. Sofia didn't know that Mr Lee was taking a photo while she was watching the computer. Mr Lee is very tricky!

Here is David from Par Reading. David is only 11 years old but very intelligent. He knows more dinosaur names than Mr Lee does, which is impressive because Mr Lee is a dinosaur. Although he is smart for his age, David sometimes eats his pencils. That can be detrimental to your health!

Here's Alice, Emily and Estella from Memory Tera, all working hard as usual. Alice and Emily like to help each other a lot, but they never cheat on tests!

And here are the other Memory Tera students: Lily, Jason, Christine, Andrew and Rori. Right now they are learning about some extreme science jobs. When you grow up, will you be a scientist too?
