Term 1 2020
I’ve only just recently realised that I post almost all the stories we learn in Junior Primary, Middle Primary and Upper Primary but I haven’t posted anything about what I do with the receptions. Unfortunately what I do is impacted by timetables. Some years the receptions only have one lesson a week and some years receptions have 2 lessons a week. However, regardless of one or two lessons per week, I’ll try to give you an overview of what I do!
In Term One I tend to focus on the basics. Even the concept of a second language can be quite difficult for little people to understand. We look at where Indonesia is located compared to Australia (Google Earth is great for this). I show lots of pictures of Indonesia’s islands, animals, people, buildings etc. and we talk about similarities and differences. We then look at some of the basic language structures I need to introduce to set up routines in the Indonesian room, like Greetings; Thank you/You’re Welcome; Numbers and Colours. I also do lots of TPR (Teaching through Physical Response) with all of the junior primary students throughout the year but especially the receptions. This is basically Simon Says but in Indonesian. I say an Indonesian word and they respond by physically showing me what the word means. We cover lots this way (stand, sit, run, walk, sleep, dance, turn around, wake up, fast, slow).
Once the basics have been covered we can get on with the fun stuff. I always start out with the Spongebob story. The Spongebob story covers the words mau-wants; punya-has; kasih-gives; makan-eats; minum-drinks.
Spongebob
Spongebob mau crabby patty.
Patrick punya crabby patty.
Patrick kasih crabby patty.
Spongebob makan crabby patty.
Spongebob
Spongebob wants a crabby patty.
Patrick has a crabby patty.
Patrick gives the crabby patty.
Spongebob eats the crabby patty.
We then focus on ada-there is; dia-he/she; lapar-hungry; lihat-sees; pergi ke-goes to; berlari ke-runs to in the story Harimau makan Elsa.
Harimau makan Elsa (by Anne McKelvie- Indonesian Fun for Juniors)
Ada perempuan. Nama dia Elsa.
Ada harimau. Harimau lapar.
Harimau lihat Elsa. Harimau mau makan Elsa.
Elsa berlari ke pohon. Harimau berlari ke pohon.
Elsa berlari ke rumah. Harimau berlari ke rumah.
Harimau makan Elsa. Aduh!!
Tiger eats Elsa
There is a girl. Her name is Elsa.
There is a tiger. The tiger is hungry.
The tiger sees Elsa. The tiger wants to eat Elsa.
Elsa runs to a tree. The tiger runs to the tree.
Elsa runs to a house. The tiger runs to the house.
The tiger eats Elsa. Oh no!!
Another story we like to look at focuses on the words ambil-takes; suka-likes; ini-this is; berkata-says; jangan-dont; dan-and; banyak-lots; sakit-sick; muntah-vomit! For some reason the littlies always love stories with vomit in them!!

This is the basics of the reception program. When we have two lessons a week (like this year) we will go through this pretty quick. So there will be a lot more stories, songs and games however we tend to focus on the same core vocab. The ones we really want them to remember are: mau-wants; punya-has; kasih-gives; ada- there is; pergi ke-goes to; ambil-takes; bisa-can; suka-likes. Any questions, please feel free to come in anytime. 😉
