Malaysia Flag and Carnotarus

04/08/208 (Monday)

a) Songs
* The kids sang their favourite song “The Dinosaur Song” and
marched around.

* Then we sang “The Compsognathus Song”. This time round they were better.
YP brought a Malaysia flag. We talked a little bit about "Merdeka”, which is similar to Malaysia’s birthday or rather Independence say. We sang “Negaraku”. They were amazed as this was the first time we sang it. They stood straight like soldiers.

b) Carnotarus was not Megalosaurus
* The kids argued that “Niu Rong” is not Megalosaurus. So, we checked different books for the answer. True enough “Niu Rong” is Carnotarus.
* Carnotarus and Megalosaurus are meat-eaters. Both had 2 strong back legs but 2 small front legs. The back legs had 3 toes with sharp claws.
* Carnotarus had 2 horns whereas Megalosaurus hadn’t any. Both had strong jaws with sharp teeth. Carnotarus was about 7.5 metres while Megalosaurus was about 9 metres long.

c) The signs
* After tea break, the kids gathered to look at their Stegosaurus Model craft.
* We needed to put up some signs. “Please Do Not Touch”, “Stegosaurus Craft”, “The Dinosaur World”.
* We needed to do some final touched-up on the giant model. These included spikes and eyes.
* We divided ourselves into groups to do the different tasks.
* Last Friday, we discussed together to strengthen the legs. So, we decided to make them heavier by adding some stones. Thus, we went searching and digging some stones at the sandpit.
* Thus, today; we continued improving our craft.
