Hi plum-cake,

Daughter's spelling is based on 'My body'...like shoulder, waist, wrist. So I got her to do vocab based on that 'theme'. This week is on 'Animals'.
As for grammar, I am reinforcing 'is, are, was, were' with her.
There is Creative Writing as well ? :shock: Ok, will have to look at timetable to see if I can schedule 1-2 pages once a week. Thanks:)

mmm Is your dd's school following stellar? cos for mine actually follows the stellar and the spelling ,creative writing everything goes according to the story book. 1st week creative writing heading is \"up up and away\" because her stellar book is something called bubble trouble.

Daughter's school is using Stellar program...emailed her FT to enquire more, and she replied me about some briefing.

Don't worry Janet, they know what to give for the spelling. the more words your kid knows will help her to write better.

Got it . This week's spelling is on animals in the wild...on my part, I did 2 pages of Vocab with her on this topic. Something related so that she isn't fed up with having to learn spelling all the time.

I need help. What is the intonation for \"ma yi\" (ant) in the \"ma?\"


I've always thought it was the 2nd intonation but my gal's Chinese spelling stated 3rd and when I managed to do a Google search, it also stated the third. I could be wrong all these while then but if it's the third sound, wouldn't it sound a lil off? Unless it's the way it should be actually pronounced.

:?

I remember a hanyu pinyin rule I learnt in school - When the intonation of two words (forming a noun) are at the 3rd, the one in front will be read at 2nd intonation.

[chic_savvy]

So you mean I could be most probably right? :? Or it is this known fact that makes it 50/50 correct?

[tamarind]

chic_savvy,


Yes this is a know fact, a 100% rule.

蚂蚁
mǎyǐ

Both characters are written with the 3rd tone, but when you read it, the first character must be read as the 2nd tone.

Hi plum-cake,

This week's EL spelling is on animals in the wild.
There are many series in Stellar program.

For 听写, I made her write out the 6 'a e i o u' with the 4 tones.
Came home yesterday telling me, 'Mummy you tested me 听写 by making me write out. Actually no need to. Just circle will do'. :roll:
