The Aedes Mosquito

24/11/2008 (Monday)

a) Corner Playing
Some kids preferred colouring (Shi Jie, Le Xin, Jin Nan), some playing The Aeroplane Board Game(Jian Wei, Zi Yang, Eugene) while some playing with blocks(Justin, Jin Shan).

b) The Aedes Mosquito.
Last Friday, Jin Nan, Jin Shan and Eugene mentioned about this mosquito.
So the kids learnt that this is a dangerous flying insect.
Only the females suck our blood in order to assist them to lay eggs.
The males feed on plants.
They have black and white stripes on their legs and body.
To avoid them, we must always ensure the flower pots are dry. Also try to ensure dry drains as the mosquitoes lay eggs in the water.

c) The Clapping Game
We pretended to hit the mosquitoes. We learnt these words: above, below, left, right, front and back.
It was very challenging as the kids had to liten carefully. Eugene, Xin Ru, Jin Shan and Jin Nan were attentive. The others tried very hard to follow......it was fun!

d) Mathematics
After tea break, we learnt “add” and “less”.
Most kids were independent. Le Xin and Jun Hong. Xin Ru has shown great improvement.

e) Phonics
We recapped on these sounds: ck, ll, ss, gg.
Then they did an exercise to circle the words with same consonant blends.
Words: dress, egg, pill, hill, clock, duck.
