Primary 1 – English : Shark in the Park
One of the exciting stories learned by P1 students is “Shark in the Park” by Nick Sharratt. After reading the story, the students laughed because of Timothy Pope, the story’s main character. In the story, it is told that Timothy used his toy telescope to look around, then suddenly he saw a scary thing, A SHARK IN THE PARK! Do you think that it is the real shark? Well, that’s only a cat’s ear that looks like a shark’s fin. Students were asked to make a toy telescope and then use that to pretend to Timothy. What did they see? They saw a bear’s head, a tiger, and a bat’s wing. At the end of the session, they wrote a simple story about it. They said they saw a bear hat, clothes with a tiger motif, and a kite. ***
