Homework: The Dinosaur Board Game.

30/07/2008 (Wednesday)

a) Compsognathus
* We learnt about Compsognathus. It is as tall as a chicken. It’s only 60 metres. It is as heavy as a new born baby which is 3kg
ZY : Then, can it run faster than a Velociraptor.
T : Yes…..because it is lighter and smaller.
M : What does it eat?
T : It’s a meat-eater. Example: it eats lizards. Let’s learn a new song.

“The Compsognathus Song”.
The dinosaur went over the mountain (x3)
To see what he could see. (x3)

There was a new green jungle (x3)
Was all that he could see. (x3)

Was all that he could see (x2)
There was a new green jungle,
Was all that he could see.

b) Numbers
* We recap on numbers. I drew a table of 10 columns and 5 rows. Then, the kids came out to write the numbers. Each wrote 2 – 3 numbers. LX, XR needed more guidance. The kids learnt to say and write 1 – 50.
* I pointed the numbers randomly for them to read.

c) Unpleasant words
* Some kids were found to say some unpleasant words. This negative situation stopped for a while
and now it is back.
l Someone said “pian thai” and I they had no idea the meaning of it. In fact, the kid who started
saying this word, put up his hand thinking as if it was something “great”. I explained.
l I shard with them the stabbing case in a school recently. The 17 year-old student got mad and
acted violently against his 15 year-old friend who always scolded him unpleasant words!
l They promised to say more good words.

d) Homework: The Dinosaur Board Game.
* The kids played this big board game in the class before.
* The kids need to complete the numbers on the worksheet.
* Then they need to make a dice and 2 little people as indicators.
* If the player gets number “6” from the dice, they can play another round.
* When they reach 10/20/30/40/50, they need to add another 5 points.
* When the player reaches the head, they have to slide down to the tail.
*The winner is the first person to reach number “54”.
e) Colouring
* The kids coloured the picture of Ankylosaurus which they learnt 2 days ago.
* J asked permission to take an Anylosaurus toy to look at the colour. The other kids looked at the
class poster.

f) Water is important
* Yesterday afternoon, the kids said water prevent us from falling sick. However, they are still around 6 kids who were irresponsible to drink water. They needed Teacher’s consistent reminder.
* To avoid this, I shared with them a picture of our body and also our digestive system.
* Lack of water would cause improper digestive system. It would also affect our skin.
* The food we eat nowadays consist of chemical. Unhealthy food will create sickness. Some even would create small stones as out intestines were not properly cleaned.
* Water is very important.
