While going through Ilham's file yesterday, I found some school works which he did in grade 1 at the International School of Amsterdam (ISA). Thought to myself that I might as well post them on the blog.
Ilham joined the school in February 2009, so that gave him a few months in Grade 1 until the middle of June. Luckily he was able to follow the lessons otherwise he would not be going into Grade 2 in August. There was a Korean girl who joined the class in March 2009 but she couldn't go into Grade 2 because the class teacher thought that she was somehow not matured enough and might not be able to follow grade 2's lessons. Her parents met with the Lower School Head to protest but to no avail :(
Anyway, back to the school work, I'm not sure whether this work was covered under Unit Of Inquiry or not. It probably was, but I wasn't sure under which topic. I wasn't that aware of the school's curriculum then :) The students were given a poem/story of Mr Plumbly's House and then they were asked to draw their version of the house on the computer. It was simple enough, but it was interesting to see how each student interprete them.

This is Ilham's version of Mr Plumbly's House
Based on this poem :)
And these are the students works :)
I loved looking at the drawings, I wish I had taken a picture of each of the work, then we could see clearly how creative the students were.

Did u see the white house with the 2 striped house on either side of it?? When I first saw it, I thought ehhh why the house is white?? Then I reread the poem.. baru perasan ha..ha..
Mother of Ilham,
Moral of the story is: Economics. Mr Plumbly and his neighbours are good for the economy. They support the paint industry. purrrr.....meow!
Picasso in the making!
Very very creative ideas. It involves thinking process. I like it very much!
