Andrew's amazing pencil-drumming skills

Here are the Memory Giga students studying hard.

Vocabulary tests occur on the second lesson of the week. If you don't do your homework, they are difficult to pass.

During the test, a lot of concentration is needed. So the Monday/Friday class always do their test in silence. The only sound to be heard is from the occasional rubbing of an eraser on paper.

Here's Angela, who likes to practice her English. Angela is saying "Hello Saha students!"

Here is some extension work from Memory Tera. The students were asked to come up with a happy ending for Shakespeare's Hamlet. In Sunny's story, every ends up having a party and getting married.

In Veronica's version of events, a good doctor brings the dead king back to life! If you study hard, you can be a good doctor too.

Here's Andrew and Annie from Birdie reading. They like to play with their phones during breaktimes because they are not allowed to turn them on during lesson. Do you always remember to turn your phone off during class?

Andrew likes to sit at the front of the class so that he can be closer to the action.

Here he is showing us his amazing drumming skills! If you would like to learn this from him, you can find him during breaktimes.

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!

Some Hot Shots of Ms. Nicole's Spring Term Students

This is Araceli of Ms. Nicole's MM Class. She has excellent English fluency... And she's good at dancing!

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!
