English Home Language - Term 3 - Week 7

In this lesson, we will focus on the importance of listening and speaking in our daily lives. Listening helps us understand others, while speaking allows us to express our thoughts and feelings. We will listen to a short story and then discuss it as a class. This will help us practice our listening skills and learn how to communicate effectively.

Let’s look at a simple sentence: 'The cat is on the mat.' Notice how we use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Now, let’s change it to: 'The dog is in the yard.' We have used correct punctuation and spacing. Remember, every sentence should start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

I will read a short story about a day at the park. While I read, listen carefully and think about the main events in the story. After I finish, we will discuss what happened in the story. I will ask questions like, 'What did the children see at the park?' and 'How did they feel?' This will help you practice your listening and speaking skills.

Now it’s your turn to practice writing sentences. I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After writing, pair up with a partner and read your sentences to each other. This will help you practice speaking and listening to your classmates.
