We are so excited to be at the MOE Excel Fest 2012. We will be here from 30 to 31 March at Suntec City Convention Hall 401, Booth B71. We are sharing with visitors how we use newspaper in class to learn more about Singapore and the world. When we discuss the articles in class with our classmates and teachers, we also learn the right values. We also have to share our thoughts on the issues discussed with our teachers through our reflections.
While we may feel tired, we are heartened that many visitors like how we use newspaper in class.
Do you like the way we use newspaper in education? Do you have a suggestion for us? We appreciate your comments and feedback.

An engaging and a refreshing idea for the students! Kudos for the great idea!
Ideas were very innovative! Great job!
Ii learn much from the clear presentation . Two thumbs up!!
Thank you for your encouraging comments. Please keep your comments coming!
It's an eye opening experience knowing what our schools are doing to help pupils learn better.
I think this blog is a great idea! Glad it's still going strong. 1st heard it presented at the ST trs Forum a few yrs back and I think it was in the papers last year too, plus on Moe schoolbag. V innovative and the girls i spoke to today had a lot to say abt their learning. Maybe you can put d newspaper articles & all the old lesson plans on this blog? Good to read the 'history' since you started so long ago so we know what to look out for when we start to implement this in our sch. Btw is it supposed to be 'newspapers in education'? Thanks!
This is a great way for pupils to reflect and give quick comments on thoughts about newspaper articles they have read.
Lovely display
Keep up your good work
I think this idea is good,but I think there is a better way then writing it.
am impressed by you folks! Great, keep it up!
Paarnicka and Amanda,thank you for your presentation. Glad to know that you are learning through discovery.
Lyn did a good job of explaining the newspaper approach and lee also supported it very well. They asked me if I could suggest improvements. I already find it good but they told me that the approach does not cover math and science. Some articles in the newspaper could cover these topics as well. But lyn and lee were superb.
Good job by your students. Thanks.
It a great idea and channel for the children to express their thoughts and creativity. ^^ Good job!!!!
I think it's good to make student familiar and able to browse newspaper and select the information that they need. It's also about being connected to the world around you. Great job!
the students are quite good and enthusiastic in explaining the way to read newspaper and explining their thoughts
It was indeed a great experienced gained as current affairs make lessons more interesting and the students are given the opportunity to explore further on happenings outside classroom .
A very engaging way of learning the language. Encourages participation and development of reading skills. Keep it up
The Programme is very useful in making pupils and students more creative and aware of the world around them. The scrap books are really beautifully made and drawn. But if students have the opportunities to learn to draw, they can do an even better job.
Thks for the presentation ! Very informative indeed !
Very interesting way of learning! Well done!
Lyn explained about The Little Red Dot very well. Great job!
good way to improve children's learning in current affairs
I have learnt about the LRD from Lyn, a student from Canossa Convent Primary. I find it interesting and useful as a teaching and learning aids. Thank you.
Interesting strategy used in getting pupils to know more about the local current affairs in Singapore. Activities designed are interesting too!
Good reading way for children
To expose to reading other media like the newspaper.
News paper reading is very good all children every day half an hour spend news paper.
Very interesting scrapbook from newspapers. very thought Provoking! School children should do more such things!
A good exposure for new age children's to know of current affair .....

Well organised and giving good details about schools in Singapore
Good idea to have students keep up with news
Very creative and gd learning experience for the student! Cheers!
Great presenters!! Great job!!
very interesting!!!
A very interesting and educational event. The students from canossa convent primary are well versed and engaging.
Conoss Pri is using a new approach in teaching English. This is a 21th century skill the students need to acquire.
Paarnicka has given me an interesting briefing on how she and her friends use the paper to learn English. I found it an effective way to generate interest in learning English. Great! Keep it up!
This is a good approach in learning English Language. It encourages pupils to read newspapers regulary and keep up with what is happening locally and globally. Good Job. :-)
Amanda is a very confident speaker and has done a marvellous job at promoting the little red dot. Kudos!

1)Yes.
2)I think we can put up some intersting paper in the libary.So everyone can see or we can put up intersting papers on the information board.
Yes.I have one suggestion for the school. It is to find the meaning of the words. I like to know more words because it can gain my knowlege and some of the word I maybe can use it in my composition.

2)The teachers can give the people spelling from the newpaper.And the teachers can use the newpaper to practise oral and comprention.
Q1:Yes I like the way that we are using newspaper in education.
My suggestion is we can take use of the 3R that our teachers has teach us/the pupils 3Rs:reduce,reuse and recycle.
