Whoever You Are

22/08/2008 (Friday)

a) Storybook: “Whoever You Are”
* This is a story about multi-racial people around the world. Kids realized that Malaysia has 3 main races namely, “Malays, Chinese and Indians”.
* Despite their skin colours, they have the same heart and blood colour. They cry when they are hurtful. When anyone smiles, he or she is always beautiful.
* In Malaysia, we celebrate Merdeka on 31/08.
* We love Malays’ Nasi Lemak, Indians’ Roti Canau and Chinese’s halal pao or Chicken Rice.
* We respect all to have a peaceful country.

b) Interviewing Teacher Karen
* Teacher Karen is an Indian. YW said she is afraid of Indians but love Roti Canai. So, to prove the integrity of the storybook, we went down to interview her.
Kids : Excuse me, Teacher Karen. What colour is your
blood?
TK : Red.
Kids : Excuse me, Teacher Karen. What colour is your
tongue?
TK : Look. It’s like yours, pink.
Kids : Thank you Teacher Karen.

c) If I were a dinosaur…..
* The kids thought for a while, which dinosaur they would like to be.
* SJ wanted to be a transformer dinosaur: from Pteranodn to Stegosaurus and to a Liopleurodon.
* Quite a number like being the sea reptile, Liopleurodon.
* Others wanted to be Megalosaurus, T-Rex but WY chose to be a“Diamond Head” Dinosaur...a new undiscovered dinosaur…..that’s very creative!

d) Rehearsal: Our Stegosaurus Story
* They were better versed today and less dependent. However, a number of kids were absent.
* They were very funny but imaginative.

e) Games Promotion
* 6-year-old class came to promote their Games activities for next Tuesday.
* My kids were very excited. So, the 6-year-old enrolled them. They wrote their names on the application form. Some 5-year-old could write while some needed prompting.
