From the desk of teacher Darshini - N2 class

Our N2 classroom has been transformed into a mini safari. We decide the habitat for various types of animal such as farm animal, wild animal, reptile etc. This is called grouping you know? Welcome to our zoo!

We also dramatized the scene of animals communicating with each other with the mask that we have produced. Cutting with scissors is getting more difficulty, so tiny and straight stripes I needed to produce for the mane of the lion. But at the end of the day, the mask is simply beautiful.On top of that we learnt how to spell in a really fun way. We have letters to each piece of the puzzle. If you get the puzzle fixed, you get your spelling right! Besides that, BINGO activity made me very proud that my listening and linguistic skills are excellent. I knew it because my score is always 'BINGO'!
