a) I can tell a story!
* Today’s story-teller was Jin Shan and also Zi Yang.
* Jin Shan shared the story of “The Hunter and The Bear”. It was about 2 supposedly good friends who went hunting rabbits. One was smaller size compared to the other one. Suddenly a bear appeared and the bigger friend left his friend alone by climbing the tree! The smaller sized man pretended to die by lying on the ground. The bear got tricked and left him alone. This story taught us to be truthful to our friends.
* Zi Yang shared his story of “Does a kangaroo have a mother?” Basically, the mother and baby kangaroos were afraid of some animals including lions, elephants and bears. Their friends included swans, sheep and also monkeys. The kds learnt the different animals’ names and their features.
b)Folding boxes.
* The kids wanted to have their own Moon Cake boxes to store their desserts. They analysed that the nicer the box, the more expensive will the moon cake be.
* They identified the rectangle shape. They learnt to cut it into a square. Then they folded into a triangle and then into another smaller triangle.
* They must fold it hard so that they could see the creased line easily.
* The challenging part was the final folding to tuck the sides. Basically, SC and JN were faster and more independent at doing this. They even assisted their friends.
