Yao Dao’s NET Team
Let’s meet Yao Dao NET team! They are Miss Silva, Miss Joella, Miss Ann and Fede. Our students start building up a sound phonological foundation in their English lesson with the NETs and local English teachers. Adopting Australia’s “Get Reading Right” synthetic phonics curriculum, students learn from the smallest unit of sounds and blend them to construct the sounds of words step by step.

Our Intriguing Adaptation of "Much Ado About Nothing" Our school put on a special performance of the classic play "Much Ado About Nothing" by William Shakespeare. This was a remarkable show we would never forget. The students had been working shoulder to shoulder to bring this timeless story into life on our stage. We were captivated by their performances as they transformed into the witty Beatrice, the clever Benedick, the romantic Claudio, and the charming Hero.

Bringing Stories to Life Through Drama! The classroom transforms into a vibrant stage as our teachers guide students on an enchanting literary adventure. With a flick of their wrists, the teachers call for "STILL IMAGES" and the students instantly freeze their bodies molded into creative interpretations of the story's characters and scenes. But the magic doesn't stop there. Suddenly, a tap on the shoulder awakens the frozen character and the students spring into "TAP AND TALK," delivering their character's lines with newfound energy and enthusiasm. Students practice their cooperative and communication skills in English with joy. |
