Today, a few visitors visited our class. One was a 4-year-old girl, her 6-year-old sister and her 9-year-old brother. Everyone was puzzled but excitement were on some faces.
(i) Activity: Poem recitement
We recited a poem on “Delicious Animals”. I got volunteered kids to assist me. I whispered the picture they had to draw. The audience kids guessed the picture. One was a tiger, another was a giraffe and a baby elephant. I drew a crocodile for them to guess as the selected kids hadn’t got any clues to draw. The poem was recited with actions. Objective of the poem was to develop their listening and speaking skills. They learnt to recognize the animal names. Their expressions were rather impressive especially YW, YZ, ZY and ZYg.

(ii) Activity: Continuation of Safari Map
I recapped what the kids had learnt last week. We recalled the main differences between a safari and a zoo. By now, there was only the 6-year-old girl visitor, ZYu who later enrolled in our school. Her family had left her alone. She was rather puzzled about the safari. Thus, to accommodate everyone’s excitement, I took out the platform board and placed some play-dough animals. The animals were placed according to their desired placed as sketched last week. Then, some kids placed their grass. As we wanted to have more green grass, we started making more grass craft using green colour paper. 60% of the kids were independent. In fact, I was glad that LX was more independent and M gave her some help too. My challenge was to assist SR, JH and ZYu who needed more assurance. Although ZYu found difficulties in cutting but she managed to cope the task pretty fast.

(iii) Activity: Animal drawing
The kids were given a half- A4 sized paper to draw any safari animals. I was entertained by their pictures. Everyone was independent except LX, ZYu, SR and JH who needed more guidance. All managed to draw animals except SR who insisted with a cheeky smile; that she preferred balloons in the safari. Most of them drew lions, tigers or crocodiles attacking people or fighting. ZJ’s masterpiece portrayed people holding hands in the safari and a big jeep transporting them.
