Introduction to conjunctions.

5:59 AM Fayadh Lani No comments

We use conjunctions to connect sentences and phrases. In this post I will show you how to use and and but.

and

Sometimes, we write two sentences that have the same idea. For example:

I like cakes.

I like chicken.

We can combine the two sentences using and. They will become:

I like cakes and chicken.

Let's try with another example:

Ali doesn't like broccoli.

Danial doesn't like broccoli.

The sentences will become:

Ali and Danial don't like broccoli.

but

Sometimes, we use two sentences that are different in ideas. For example:

I like pizza.

He likes muffin.

We can combine the two sentences using but. It will become:

I like pizza but he likes muffin.

Let's try with another example:

It's raining.

She hasn't got an umbrella.

The sentences will become:

It's raining but she hasn't got an umbrella.

Parts of speech.

1:45 AM Fayadh Lani No comments

We can use parts of speech to make sentences. These are some of the main parts of speech that can help you in making sentences.

Noun

Verb

Preposition

Adjectives

*You can click on the link to look back at what you have learned.

Let's combine them to form sentences. For example:

Noun	Verb
Puteri	jumps.

Pronoun	Verb	Preposition		Noun
He	hides	under	the	table.

Now, let's try and rearrange the words to form sentences. Try out this quiz:https://quizizz.com/join?gc=64336020 (For Year 3 pupils, you can use the GetSmart textbook to find the sentences. Make it like a treasure hunt!)

I'll leave you with this song for you to sing. Have fun!

This is Matt. He's a firefighter. He saves lives. Where does he work? He works in a fire station.

RING! It's the sound of the alarm! Where's Matt? Can you tell us where he is?

This is an example of using prepositions.We use prepositions to tell us where a person, place, thing or animal is.

Here are some other questions made by students that you can try out:

Still not getting enough? Let's help Kim find her turtle.

Superlative Adjectives.

10:35 PM Fayadh Lani No comments

Before this, we have learned about adjectives and comparative adjectives. Remember, adjectives are used to describe a noun.

We use comparative adjectives to compare between two things. However, if we want to pick the highest quality between 3 or more things, we use superlative adjectives.

Superlatives

Which animal is the biggest? Taken from https://www.meddybemps.com/

We will start the phrase with the, followed by the adjective and adding -est to the adjective. It will look like this:

The boy is the + tall + est

The boy is the tallest.

Now, let's look at the picture and make sentences:

1. The bear is tall.

2. The elephant is taller than the bear.

3. The giraffe is the tallest.

If the adjective is more than one syllable, we will just add the most. It will look like this:

That is the most + expensive car.

That is the most expensive car.

Next, click on picture of the solar system and answer the questions based on comparative and superlative adjectives.

Notes

All about adjectives!

9:00 PM Fayadh Lani No comments

Adjectives

Adjectives are used to describe noun. Here's a few that we will focus on:

number	size	shape	colour
two three four	big small large	round long square	black white yellow

We can combine the adjectives to make the nouns more interesting. For example:

The bear

The big brown bear

Notice that I start with the size and followed by the colour of the bear.

Sometimes, we use adjectives to make comparisons

Taken from https://www.theteflacademy.com/blog/2019/02/authentic-ways-to-teach-comparative-adjectives/

Sometimes when we want to compare between two things we will add -er to the adjective, followed by the word than. It will look like this:

The boy is tall (er) + than the girl.

The boy is taller than the girl.

Watch previous episode here.

Now that William and Simon has to go and meet Professor Steve Cook, they need a ride. Simon realises that William has the Zapple!Car on his phone. William opens the app on his phone.

William is in a dilemma. He isn't sure which car to pick. Simon says, "Just pick the best one!"

"Do you have money?" William asks. Simon shakes his head.

"I have RM 9. Maybe we can have a ride to Steve Cook's house," says William.

"Do you know that Professor Steve Cook lives in a mansion? It's big!" says Simon.

We need to help them choose their car and the best route to the professor's home!

Uncle Sam's farm.

9:41 PM Fayadh Lani No comments

We will:

1. Read/listen to and understand a story

2. Use singular/plural nouns correctly.

(This lesson is adapted from GetSmart Page 66)

Have you been to a farm before? You can find many kinds of animals in a farm. Greg and Anna go to Uncle Sam's farm. Let's see what is happening.

Have you listened to the story? Plural nouns are nouns that are more than one. Most nouns form their plural by adding s to the word.

Some nouns take es in the plural. For example:

bus - buses

dress - dresses

box - boxes

Nouns ending in f would take -ves in the plural. For example:

wolf - wolves

scarf -scarves

leaf -leaves

Some of the nouns take a different name. For example:

tooth -teeth

mouse -mice

Now, let's play a game. Can you find the plural nouns? (note that there is one singular noun in the quiz)

How did you do? Did you manage to get the correct answers? Why don't you try and complete this crossword puzzle. Good luck!

2:31 AM Fayadh Lani No comments

Animals need to protect themselves. Sometimes, they change the colour of the body to match the environment. They do this to hide themselves from the enemies. This action is called 'camouflage'.

Can you see the animals in this video? Can you count them?

You can also try this activity and find the animals. Here's a video of how a cuttlefish dis=

A ride in the safari park.

8:07 PM Fayadh Lani No comments

Have you been to a Safari Park before? It's the place where you can see lots of animals. Can you count their numbers?

Animals and their names are also nouns. Noun is a person, a place, a thing and even an animal! There are certain rules in using the noun. Before this, we have covered the Proper Noun. Now, let's look at the singular and plural noun.

Singular and Plural Noun.

What are singular and plural nouns? The concept is simple:

Singular means one.

Plural means more than one.

In order to make the noun plural, we usually add s, es, or ies.

For example:

one cat - two cats

a bus - two buses

a strawberry - many strawberries

You can learn more about singular and plural noun through this video:

Now, let's try answering this quiz. Can you get all the answers correct?

Finally, look at the picture below. Try and describe the picture using the singular and plural noun. Good luck!

It's a spooky book!

4:31 PM Fayadh Lani No comments

I like old books. Sometimes, they contain wisdom that we do not have nowadays. I found this particular book at a store. Coincidentally, it is halloween so I'm interested to share with you this spooky book.

Any ideas for Halloween? Then, this book is for you! There are many guides and tutorials that aren't suitable to well... adults! However, I just keep the secrets with me. I will reveal this one particular instruction that you might be familiar with:

This is a mobile sculpture or in Bahasa Melayu, 'Arca Mobail'. However, instead of hanging butterflies and boats, why not we hang bats instead? Who knows maybe even Batman will be interested to attend to your party! Can you make your own bat mobile? To the Bat mobile!

Past tense.

8:05 PM Fayadh Lani No comments

Last time, we learned about action verb and verb to be. Now, what if we want to use the verb if we want to talk about the past?

Past tense

Time is very important in the English language. We use present tense to talk about things that we do routinely (always do) and something that is currently happening.

However, if we want to talk about what happened in the past, we may have to slightly change the action words.

Sometimes, we add -d, -ed, or -ied. For example:

smile -> smiled

look -> looked

cry -> cried (transform the letter 'y' in the word 'cry' into 'i')

Sometimes, we change the word altogether. For example:

is -> was

are -> were

gets -> got

go -> went

When we use a past tense verb, we don't need to add an 's' to a singular verb. For instance:

_________________________________________________

He picks up the pencil on the table.

He picked up the pencil on the table yesterday.

_________________________________________________

Here's a video that sums it up:

Meanwhile, can you change the bold words below into past tense words?

Patrick is a boy who lives in a small village. One day, he is playing at the playground. Suddenly, a zombie chases him. He tries to run away. However, he gets bitten by the zombie. He turns into a zombie. Then, a radioactive spider gets a chance to bite him. He turns into Spider zombie. As the sun is setting, he could see the full moon. He is surprised that he is transforming into a Spider werezombie!

Now, illustrate your answer!

Scary Movies. Which scary character that suits you?

7:39 PM Fayadh Lani 2 comments

3 Hazel learned about movie posters. They even talked about a horror movie called 'Hantu Kak Limah Back Home'. It would probably be the same movie that Greg and Anna watch.

Then, they wrote a review about the story. Some of them felt the story was scary. The others felt it was funny.

What about you? Do you like the Mak Limah character? Can you think of the best scary character that suits you?

Manufacturing our own vaccine

10:45 PM Fayadh Lani No comments

Back in July, our Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that we will start to develop our own vaccine.

What is a vaccine? A vaccine is a substance that makes us immune against disease. In this case, we will be immune to the Covid 19 virus. When we are immune, we are able to resist the virus. However, making the vaccine is too costly. The government may have to pay more to get the vaccine from other countries. They might even prioritise their countries first.

So, our prime minister suggested that we should aim to become a vaccine-manufacturing country in the long run. This means that we will be able to make the vaccine here. However, we may not have enough expertise unless we collaborate with other countries.

What do you think? Should we develop our own vaccine? Should we get our vaccines from other countries such as Russia and the United States? Leave a comment below.

Should we manufacture our own vaccine?

Verb 'to be'

9:45 PM Fayadh Lani No comments

Before this, we have learned about action verbs. Let us go back to this question: What is a verb? A verb is a word to tell an action or a state of being. It can be an action verb and it can also be a verb 'to be'.

Verb 'to be'

It is the most basic verb in English. In this case, we are only going to use these three words: is, are and am. These are the ways that we can use the verb:

1. To describe something/someone.

For example:

a) This is a cat.

b) I am 9 years old.

c) They are happy

2. As 'helping' verb. You will have to put -ing after the verb.

For example:

a) Amir is reading a book

b) I am staying at home

c) We are having fun

*This 'helping' verb is also known as Auxiliary verb.

Still confused? Let's watch this video!

Now, let's try this to find our if you understand verb 'to be'.

Meanwhile, you can also try Miss Atiqah's quiz on Auxiliary verb here.

Let's write in capital letters!

8:45 PM Fayadh Lani No comments

When we write sentences, we need to use capital letters. We use capital letters when:

1. It is the first letter of a sentence.

2. There is a proper noun.

What are nouns? Nouns are words for names. The names can be a person, a place or a thing. Let's listen to the song below.

Now, what is a proper noun? Proper nouns are words that are specific. Let's look at the video below to see the examples of proper nouns.
