On Wednesday, 3 June 2026, the Kindergarten B students of Al Siddiq International participated in a learning activity using the Pippa and Pop book in their classroom. This activity was designed to help children recognise and understand English vocabulary in a fun and developmentally appropriate way. Through stories, educational videos, and workbook activities, the children were encouraged to learn English actively and interactively.
The lesson began with the teacher reviewing the topic that had been studied during the previous week, which was weather. The children were invited to recall different types of weather they had already learned, such as sunny, rainy, windy, and snowy. The children enthusiastically answered questions and confidently repeated the vocabulary they had learned before.
Next, the teacher asked the children to open the relevant pages in their Pippa and Pop books. To strengthen their understanding, the teacher played the educational video provided as part of the programme. Through the engaging and colourful video, the children were able to see examples of English vocabulary being used in more realistic contexts. This activity helped them become more familiar with English pronunciation and the use of simple sentences.
After watching the educational video, the teacher reviewed the story together with the children. A question-and-answer session was then conducted to assess their understanding of the material. The children were encouraged to answer questions, recall vocabulary, and relate the story to their everyday experiences. The learning atmosphere was warm and interactive, with the children showing great enthusiasm to participate.
During the main activity, the children completed workbook exercises included in the Pippa and Pop programme. They engaged in a variety of tasks, including writing, matching pictures, and colouring according to the given instructions. These activities not only reinforced their understanding of English vocabulary but also helped develop their fine motor skills through careful writing and colouring.
Through learning with the Pippa and Pop programme, the children gained many benefits. In addition to expanding their English vocabulary, the activities helped them become more familiar with listening to and understanding simple English sentences, enabling them to imitate and use them in daily conversations. Furthermore, the writing and colouring activities supported the development of hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Overall, the lesson was enjoyable and provided a meaningful learning experience for all students.
