Nurturing Critical Thinkers And Creative Achievers For School And The Future

Learning Comes ‘Alive’ at Morris Allen English

Dinosaurs come to life as animated children donning 2D glasses take turns to role-play the different characters while reading a dinosaur story, complete with roars and actions.

Then, the children gather around and discuss what they would do if they were to encounter dinosaurs, after which, they are exposed to vocabulary such as ‘herbivores’ and ‘roam’ in an exciting Match-the-Word game.

For the engaged group of seven-year-olds, it is yet another literacy lesson brought to life in a classroom.
