Amy's June Holiday

Dear Children,

Amy has shared with us where she went during the June Holidays. Let's read more and find out!

I had an enjoyable and memorable June school holiday as my family toured Taiwan for 8 days from 19 to 26 June 2013. We visited Taipei, Yilan, Tai Chung, Miaoli, Hsinchu and Tao Yuan. 
















I also took many rides at the Window on China Theme Park. The scariest ride was Wipeout. The wind was so strong at the Santiao Chiao Lighthouse that my sister and I were almost blown away. 





I had my first experience in plucking China pears and grapes as well as making pottery cups and figurine activity. It was so fun. I hope to visit Taiwan again.



Sounds like Amy had a great time! Would you like to share what you did during the holidays too?  :)

Task 1 (June Holidays Assignment)

Dear Children,

For the first task this holidays, let us start with something easy and fun.

We will be reading the book, 'Where The Wild Things Are', an award-winning children's book written by Maurice Sendak.

Let's watch the video!




After watching the video, let's discuss the following points in the comments.

1) Were you able to make any T2S (Text to self) connection? If you have, what is it?

2) Does this story reminds you of any stories that we have read in Semester 1? If so, which one and why?

3) Do you think the Wild Things were real? Why?

Feel free to bring up any other questions or thoughts you might have. :)




By the way, I am listening to this audiobook, Matlida by Roald Dahl. I love this book so much that I've read it about 3 to 4 times! If you are interested, you can listen to it here:



Enjoy! :)
