06/08/2008 (Wednesday)

a) Cretaceous Period
* The kids argued that T-Rex was during Jurassic period. Thus, we searched for books. T-Rex existed during Cretaceous Period. Other dinosaurs included Stegosaurus and Diplodocus as well as Pteranodon.
* I drew a huge T-Rex. The kids were given points for every fact that they said.
EG : It eats meat.
ZY : It has sharp claws and teeh.
JN : It uses the claws to hunt for meat.
ZYg : It uses its string tail to protect itself.
T : Why does it have two tiny front legs?
SYu, Eg: To hold its food.
T : Good answer!
* It has two tiny legs because its body could not hold the weight of its heavy huge head. Its tiny front legs were used to raised itself up from rest and also to hold its food.
* The King of The Dinosaurs.

b) Individual gesture
* The kids pretended to be a T-Rex. JN, JS and YP were quite good at it. Some kids tried even though they were shy.
* Some kids preferred to potray as a group. Thus, we did it in a group after individual try out.

c) English Reciting: Greetings
* We recapped on the greetings. They were able to read with some prompting. Take a look:
a) Hello, how are you today?
I am fine,thank you. And you?
How are your mother, father, brother and sister?
They are very well, thanks.

I am pleased to meet you, Mr. Smith.
