The
Bible phonic classes made its debut in
Putra Heights Community Center (PHCC) on 19th January 2008. There were about 11 children who signed up for the program. The children who attended were kept occupied with lessons that consists of using blocks to form wo
rds, making sentences with double alphabets infront e.g
PR, CR, GR; the last and the best
part of the lesson was being entertained by 2 puppets,
Ben and
Anne.
It was very interesting to observe the learning curve of each child; each has a unique way to grasp what was being taught and some did things differently. For instance, one boy was very innovative in putting the word blocks back in a box. He stacked all the blocks neatly like a “tall, straight building” and then try to put the box over it. Very innovative and forward thinking indeed! The boy had speed and efficiency on his mind.
(The author who did the observation was quite amused!) And there was this girl who was the brightest among the lot; she did things independently without consulting the teacher’s helpers. And yet another, observe what the rest were doing and helped the weaker ones. It was amazing to see how these children interact and respond to the learning.
If you are a parent with children in 6-7 years old age range, you can send them for the classes in PHCC; if you have not already done so. It is only once a week; every Saturday from 4.30pm-6.30pm with a minimal fee, RM40 per month. The benefits of them joining are many;
do consider giving your child a chance to have the experiential learning!
