CPDs CPDs CPDs!

Welcome to the blog for our Dungun-Hulu cluster!  We have started out the year with a lot of exciting activities, and are looking forward to continuing the fun throughout the next year and a half.  Here are a few of the highlights from the first 4 months of TELL2...

CPD in March: Classroom Management

For our first CPD we discussed classroom management.  We introduced a number of visual aids that can be used for that, and then made some of those materials in the school trainings that followed.



CPDs in April: Multisensory Materials and Phonics Games

During the second CPD, we learned about how kids learn in different ways, using their different senses. Not only do they learn by what they see, but also what they hear, smell, touch, hear and even taste!  So we made some materials that can stimulate all of those senses...

• Scented Play dough
• Scented Coloured Rice
• Edible Finger Paint
• Squishy Bags

For the third CPD, we had a lot of fun!  We played 10 games, each designed to practice phonics.  We also sang the Phonics Alphabet Song!  

Here is a link to the Phonics Fun Handbook we gave to each teacher.  It explains how to play each game:
