Peer Assisted Penmanship

Letting the big girls do the work (PAL)

Recent penmanship heats at SK Teh came at a particularly awkward time and everyone was a bit too busy to give it their full attention. So we asked the Year 5 teacher if he would send three of the best pupils to the Year 2 classroom with Teacher Simantakar and the mentor. We asked the Year 5 pupils to make sure that all the Year 2 pupils filled in their name correctly and understood they had to copy the original version with exactly the same spacing, capital letters and punctuation.while the teacher and the mentor made sure that everyone understood all the words in the text so they could draw pictures to match.

The Year 5 pupils did a really good job, and the year 2 pupils responded well to the guidance of their older peers.

Year 5 helpers - Thank You!

Making a good start
