a) Reciting Program
* After Corner Playing, we did the third paragraph of the poem, “The Little Red Hen”.
Third paragraph:
“Who will reap this whaet?” says the little red hen.
“I won’t,” says the dog.
“I won’t,” says the cat.
“I won’t,” says the pig.
“I won’t,” says the turkey.
“Then I will,”says the little red hen.
“Cluck! Cluck!”
So she reaped the wheat.

b) Lobster
* It was great to have Ze Yan back to school from holidays. He showed us his hand-drawn lobster.
Many kids were attracted.
* Then, he drew on the board and showed us. I guided him a little bit.
* He whispered to me that he wanted to draw many lobsters and give to his friends.
* We talked a little bit about lobsters.

c) Insects
The kids learnt that insects have 6 legs. Some can fly while some cannot. Usually, they have 3 segments of body.
They looked at an encyclopaedia and was amazed of the ants’ home which is underground.
They learnt that once the male and female ants got married (mating), the male ants would die leaving the female ant to be the Queen Ant. She would lay so many eggs and they become her colony. The insects just like ants have the similar “life cycle” like a butterfly.
Eggs --- larva --- cocoon --- adult.

d) Homework: Vocabulary
The kids have to do a page on the insects.
The scond page is to complete the missing letters to form words. “owl, shark, prawn, moon, rocket and the tortoise”. Then, they have to colour them.
