Some EC3 and Par student work

Here's some extension work completed over break times, brought to you from Saha's Par and EC3 classes. Click to enlarge!

Alyssa completed the end of the story 'Karen and the Artist'. In Alyssa's ending, Karen and Antonio get married and have a baby. This is a recurring theme in much of her creative writing. Thanks Alyssa!

In Daniel's version of events, there is an exhibition and Antonio makes a lot of money. If you study English well, you can make a lot of money too.

Joon knows that Mr Lee is a big fan of Yi So-Yeon, the first Korean astronaut. So Joon took the story into space with the International Space Station. Mr Lee likes this story a lot, even though it ends in tragedy.

Meanwhile, in Par Reading, the students have been learning about the water cycle. Jason says that the cycling reminds him of a Moebius strip, an infinite loop with a singular plane.

This is Lilly's interpretation which has a decidedly minimalistic feel to it.

Emily drew a nice picture of some precipitation. In real life though, it rarely falls as rain, snow and hail at the same time. As the Par students all now know, it actually depends on the temperature at the moment of condensation.

And here's a picture of Mr Lee's favourite ramyeon on his desk. It's good that the PC room upstairs sells it.

Thanks for all your good work everyone!

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!
