Salad English | Enjoy Learning | Enjoy Life
Starting from a two-dimensional textbook, how do we help students show themselves in a three-dimensional space consisting of knowledge, skills and attitudes? Why not jump into students’ Salad English bowl to experience their interests, feeling and avenues of curiousity?
Grade 1
Shoe Box Zoo
Welcome to Grade 1 Shoe Box Zoo. In spite of the fact that our students cannot visit zoos, English inspires them and gives them wings to fly. They apply their two dimensional “book smarts” to creativity in three dimensions, which exemplifies their interest in English, passion for creation and love for nature. From a learner to a handicraftsman, then to a zoo keeper, the journey of learning changes our perspective naturally. The value of growth is found in the changing of roles.
Grade 2
Ordinary People, Great Job
The COVID-19 changed our life this winter and spring. We must give praise to the unseen heroes around us: doctors, nurses, policemen, guards, couriers, drivers, and cleaners. In the face of difficulties, these ordinary people perform their duties and work together to maintain the basic order of our lives. Second-grade children pay tribute to every-day heroes through the theme of “Ordinary People, Great Job”.
Grade 3
Postcards To Your Future Self
These past four months have broken the balance in our lives, however it gave us more time to find the inner peace. Students who were trapped at home cherished more of what they had now and they looked forward to their shared future. Through we could not play and study with our classmates and teachers anymore, we gained some more, which was the happiness of thinking alone and the opportunities of cultivating self-discipline. They sent postcards to themselves in the future to express their gratitude to themselves in the past for their hard-work. They communicated with their future selves by using skills they learnt from books and teachers. This special experience will become an unforgettable memory in their lives.
Grade 4
Healthy Foodies
Four months of home-school life has not made G4 students Couch potatoes – unless it is fat with knowledge! Our Grade Four students are healthy foodies. English learning has helped the students understand the necessity of a balanced diet. Salad English Video sparked the interest of students in making healthy food. The food-pyramid lunch box assisted students in connecting theory and practice. We hope the children can build their learning pyramid as well as the food pyramid, that is from hard-work founding the base, building to creativity at the top.
