My English Story Map This year, we organized an exciting and creative project for our primary school students called “My English Story Map.” It was designed for children aged 6 to 10 years to help them learn English sentences, vocabulary, and storytelling in a fun and visual way. Students chose a short story or a daily routine, such as A Day in the Park or My Morning Routine, and divided it into 4-6 simple sentences. They drew a pathway or map on A4 sheets showing the story’s journey and illustrated each sentence along the path. For example, “I see a bird in the tree” was drawn with a tree and a bird, making the story colourful and easy to understand.  During the activity, students shared their story maps with classmates, reading the sentences aloud and explaining their drawings. This project helped children practice English speaking, reading, and vocabulary, while also encouraging creativity, planning, and presentation skills. The final story maps were displayed in the c...

Kids’ Fair – Introduction and Overview  As an English teacher, I wanted to give my students a chance to use the language, so I organized a Kids’ Fair with Grade 4. The aim was to let children practice English while having fun buying and selling items they prepared. Procedure 1. Planning – The school has four parallel classes, each with about 40 students. I divided the classes into small groups and told them to label every item and learn set phrases for the fair. We also made a price list in English to reinforce numbers. 2. Rehearsals – Each class had a short rehearsal so students could practice sales dialogues and feel comfortable with the vocabulary. We role‑played common exchanges such as “How much does this cost?” and “I would like to buy…”. 3. Preparation – Parents helped with decorations. They arrived early, set up stalls by 7:30 a.m., and then left the area to the students. Posters with useful English expressions were hung around the classroom. 4. Opening – Fair began at 9 a....
