a) The Giant Sea Creatures.
* Today’s kids were very active….thus I started giving the kids names of “NoisySaurus”……none of them wanted that label, of course! They learnt to control themselves.
* Introduced the Pre-Dinosaurs Period. There were already lives in the sea such as jelly fish and shellfish. Kids talked about their experience about jellyfish.
* During Dinosaur’s period, then came huge sea creatures. Some included Liopleurodon, Ichthyosaurs and Elasmosaurus. Liopleurodon had the longest and largest jaw with sharp teeth…like a sea monster. Its length was about 25m and very heavy.
T : Do you think it can live on land?
EG : No, teacher.
Kids : Yes, teacher.
T : We shall find out from ZYg’s CD.
* An Elasmosaurus had a long neck and swam with flippers. The kids looked at the Encyclopedia books for the picture.
* Ichthyosaurs looked like a fierce sharp and can swim fast although it was smaller in size.
b) The Sea World.
* The kids watched the jellyfish, Ichthyosaurs and Elasmosaurus.
* The kids were surprised to see the gigantic Liopleurodon. It was 100 years old. It scared away all the sea creatures.
* However, due to a storm, it landed on the beach and slowly died. Allosauruses were waiting to eat it.
c) Role-Play Practice.
* This was our second practice.
* We used tambourine as the signal.
T : “Cling cling” Position.
* The kids went to their respective positions quietly. Hmm..surprisingly!
* They performed with less prompting compared to the first time. They came in at the right time.
* Guidance were given for them to speak Englsih confidently.
* JN, YW and JS actually put in great effort. The rest were better behaved.

Hi Teacher Jenny, this is Justin mum. Today I let Justin rest at home since he keep complaining having headache. I will bring him for a doctor visit tommorrow.
I need to check with you whether he is having any vision problem at school. Does he able to read on any writing on the board ? I asked him yesterday can see words that written by Techer Jenny on the board or not, he said cannot read it. I worried it might caused by the eye sight problem.
Hi Mrs. Shong,
Thanks for bringing up the matter. As a matter of fact, i have not realised about it. He didn't tell me anything about his eye sight.
As far as I'm concerned, he read along the words on the whiteboard just together with the other kids. The words are usually readable.....because I would test them for the the second or third round......ie to read independently. Kindly let me know of the latest situation so that we can work together.
Thank you.
