a) Storybook: If I Had A Dinosaur
* T :What would you do if you had a dinosaur?
YP : It could play with me.
* They listened to this interesting story. The T-rex could do many things:
i) playing slides , ii) as a bus to school and even faster, iii) accompany to swimming lessons,
iv) assist mother to carry shopping items and also v) to eat up one’s unfinished food.
* However, they had to think of consequences. Example:
i) Where would it sleep?
ii) Could one bring it to a birthday party?
iii) Could one bring it to the seaside?

b) The shape of a kite.
* We talked about kites. Some had flown kites before.
* I introduced the torpedo shape just like a fish and aeroplane.
* Then, we talked about the materials to make a simple kite. Newspaper would be preferable as it is lighter. They also need some qood quality string.
* They should avoid using cellophane tape or too much glue. Otherwise it would be too heavy to
fly!
* Next, they observed how strings are tied to the kite.

c) Let’s fly!
* The kids saw a ready-made kite. They learnt to hold it high. Then they flew it around, taking turns.
* They liked it. We would be going to the open-field and they could each fly their kite.
Decoration
* The kids would have to decorate their kites.
* Each was given a Pteranodon colouring paper. They coloured and cut it out. They would be pasting on the kite at the next lesson.
