On Monday 4th July, 2020 I was very excited to join an alternative curriculum which was the school function (Cultural day). During that time, we did a lot of thing with our teams that we were distributed to control. I was in the White team with four other teachers. The cultural day was very fun and children really enjoyed being in that school function. There were also a lot of parents attending that school function because they came to cheer and give foods for their children. Traditional foods in all different kinds were brought by parents and students and also a lot of games that took place in that event. Refer to appendix 1 to see the images of cultural foods that the white team students brought during that time.
The event was an example of alternative curriculum because it is a school function which was added to the school days for students to enjoy the event. The event took place in the school field it was not carried out inside the classroom. Refer to appendix 2 to see the setting of the event. I realized that alternative curriculum is all about making new experiences for students and that include in taking students outside of the classroom into a new environment. Refer to appendix 3 to see students participating in traditional games which were conducted outside of the usual classroom.
Another alternative curriculum which I have implemented in my lesson delivery was an outdoor education. I carried out that lesson outside of the usual learning environment (classroom) and I let students to carry out that lesson in the field. We had a Physical Education and I taught students to practice new skills and safeties when running in the fields. It was a fun and enjoyable lesson because most students especially students who lack interest in learning inside the classroom were all engaged and want to learn because of the new setting of the learning environment. refer to appendix 4 to see pictures of me and my students playing in the field doing our PE lesson in alternative curriculum.
