Latihan Pidato Bagi Kanak-Kanak Berumur 5 dan 6 Tahun

Secara peribadi, saya tidak pernah melatih sebarang latihan yang menggunakan teks seperti bercerita, pidato, debat dan lain-lain. Mungkin kerana kelebihan saya adalah pada seni lakon dan tari membolehkan saya mahir di dalam mengarah persembahan kanak-kanak terutamanya nyanyian. Bukan kerana saya tidak berminat dengan penglibatan yang menggunakan teks namun saya tidak berpeluang untuk meneroka bidang ini. 

Namun, saya berpeluang meneroka bidang ini sewaktu melatih anak saya sendiri baru-baru ini. Anak saya, Iman Sofea berpeluang bertanding Pidato mewakili Tabika Kemas Seri Ampang Ipoh. Semasa saya menulis post ini dia masih di dalam peringkat latihan. Saya berasa sangat sukar untuk melatih anak sendiri. Ini adalah pertama kali saya berpeluang melatih pidato. Saya bukanlah guru bahasa melayu. Namun, ianya bukanlah penghalang bagi saya untuk membantu guru anak saya melatih pidato. Cikgu Chun Mat Noot merupakan seorang guru yang sangat komited. Beliau juga telah memberi beberapa tips berguna kepada saya sewaktu menjalani latihan. Antaranya adalah sebutan yang jelas, lontaran suara dan gaya berpidato. Terus terang saya katakan di sini anak saya sebenarnya lebih suka berlatih dengan gurunya berbanding saya.

Ianya adalah amat mencabar sewaktu sesi latihan berlaku. Anak saya kerap lupa beberapa perkataan. Saya memilih untuk menggunakan teori kecerdasan pelbagai Howard Gadner. Di sekolah juga, saya menggunakan teori ini sewaktu pengajaran. Di dalam pengajaran pidato terdapat dua kecedasan yang terlibat iaitu verbal liguistics dan visual spatial. Saya berpendapat anak saya akan lebih mahir jika dia melihat teks serta mengecam kedudukan perkataan mengikut muka surat. Kadang-kadang akan wujud penyata seperti perkataan hadirin adalah di muka surat tiga. Sekurang-kurangnya, cara ini sedikit sebanyak dapat mengurangkan beban mereka. Bagi kelancaran sebutan, teknik yang saya gunakan adalah latih tubi. Terdapat banyak perkataan yang sukar disebut oleh kanak-kanak terutama yang melibatkan penggunaan 3 atau lebih suku kata. Namun, ianya bukanlah alasan bagi tidak mahu melakukan latihan penyebutan .

Saya berharap dapat membantu cikgu Chun melatih anak saya. Besarlah harapan saya agar Iman dapat melakukan yang terbaik. Sebagai seorang ibu saya hanya mampu berdoa dan membantu apa yang terdaya. :))

Integrated English in Arts

Three years ago, I was being asked to handle indiscipline pupils that came from poor family background. It was difficult but I managed to do it. Yes! I did it. Yesterday, I refreshed my memory on pictures taken  in the computer. These were what I found in one of the folder. The pictures taken was after UPSR exam in 2009. I remember one day I asked them to produce art work based on nursery rhymes. Since I was assigned to become a head panel of Visual Arts and handle the Art room it made me easier to handle them by enhancing motivation them to love arts. In fact I gave them ideas on how they can produce a beneficial product which can help them in improving themselves in English Language. After did some cutting, colouring and pasting, they printed the rhymes on a board and displayed them in the art room.It was amazing feelings for a teacher like me to see the products. Well, there is a sad story behind this. These students are no longer in primary school. In fact, it was their final year in primary school. A year later, the role of a head panel for Visual Arts was be given to my friend.I did not teach arts that year.This year is different. I become a head panel of Visual Arts once again. As I opened the Art room last week, my heart was beating hard. Where are the pupils' masterpiece? I searched everywhere, in a store room, boxes, drawers and yet finally I discovered that all of the products were thrown away. How sad. Just live with me pictures (Lucky I got some!). I want to cry.... well below are the examples of children's work.

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack went down and broke his crown
and Jill cam thumbling after



Jack be nimble, 
Jack be quick
Jack jumped right over the candle stick

There is one more 'Humpty Dumpty'. The masterpiece is gone but stay in my heart for a long time...

My Iman Sofea's drawing.


Today I'm going to write in English Language. Iman is my eldest daughter. She will be 6 this coming July 2012. During her early years, I like to ask her more about her drawings and performance at school. This is her latest drawing in kindergarten. She drew a house which she prefers to mention it as our own little house( that's where she live). The truth is our house was painted in yellow which was different from the colour that she chose that was read. Since our house is nearby a street she drew it too but drew it far a bit from the house. The windows and the door were very small. I guess this is due to early stage eye sight. She can't really compare between small and big. Plus she incompletely coloured the roof tiles with few colours. I can see that she knows how to pick basic colour for roof and coloured with few colours to show how her house tiles looked like. She can do well if she can manage he hand and eye sight.By publish her drawings I hope it can help her enhance motivation. I love you baby!
