Mrs Jessie Siva a teacher working with 12-year-old pupils in Huamin Primary School recently contacted me to describe her enthusiasm in working with Storyline. Jessie attended a workshop organised by the Ministry of Education in January this year. Since then she has, with the support of her Headteacher Mrs Rashidah Marican, put the ideas into practice and she reports that the pupils have really enjoyed their involvement in the ‘Letter’ topic and have produced the most amazing quality of creative work, full of ingenuity, which has also delighted the parents who have visited the exhibition of classwork. On 5th August the classroom was visited by Parliamentary Secretary (Ministry of Education) Mr Hawazi Daipi. The group photograph shows Mr Daipi with the P6A1 class who worked on the topic. Also in the picture (from left to right) are Mrs Rashidah Marican, Principal of the school, Mrs Esther Mok, superintendent of North 2 Cluster, Mrs Jessie Siva, Level Head for English, Mrs Chris Shie, English Head of Department and two Japanese guests.
Other teachers in the school have also been working with a Primary 2 class on the Storyline topic ‘Market Place’ with similar success.
