English First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 6

This week, we will review everything we have learned in Term 3. We will read short texts together and discuss their meanings. It is important to listen carefully and share your thoughts. We will also practice writing sentences, ensuring we use proper punctuation and spacing.

Let's read a short story together. After reading, I will ask you questions about the story. For example, if the story is about a cat named Whiskers who loves to play, I might ask, 'What does Whiskers like to do?' This helps us understand the text better.

In small groups, discuss your favorite part of the story we just read. Use complete sentences and remember to listen to your friends. After a few minutes, we will share our thoughts with the whole class. This will help us practice speaking and listening skills.

Now it's your turn to write! Think of your favorite animal and write three sentences about it. Make sure to use capital letters at the beginning of each sentence and a full stop at the end. After you finish, pair up with a partner and read your sentences to each other.
