Teacher Khairi at SK Kuala Tembeling asked all the pupils in her Year 3 English class to each bring in one piece of fruit for Friday's class. The children were very excited about making a fruit salad, and most pupils remembered to bring some fruit. The children were quite difficult to control, but Teacher Khairi is very experienced and she managed to keep them at their tables (more or less!), and focused on the task at hand. More importantly, the teacher managed to keep the language component at the forefront of this fun activity. As well as following the instructions in the Year 3 book, Teacher Khairi also wrote a script on the board. Each table nominated a chef to do the work, and every chef had to perform the instructions while saying aloud what he or she is doing. Everyone wanted to be the chef. After everyone followed the step-by-step instructions, the whole class enjoyed the fruits of their labours by eating the fruit salads.

| It was a fun activity, but the language focus was always at the forefront. |
 |
| Pick me! |
 |
| This group skipped a step and did not peel the fruit. When they realised their mistake they went back and fixed it up. |
 |
| Not all the fruit made it into the salad bowl. |
 |
| Concentrating on the task at hand |
 |
| The best part! |
 |
| Not much left. |
