Water and our body

25/11/2008 (Tuesday)

a) Water
* Some kids were never serious at drinking water. They could be drinking consistently just because he / she knows that teacher is watching. The next week, they would be hiding or pretending to drink. However, all kids would drink a bottle be fore they go out to the playground at 2.30pm. I am very strict at this. Otherwise, they would not be able to go to the playground.
* The independent kids were usually Jin Shan, Eugene, Ze Yan, Jian Wei, max and Song Chuan.
* Thus, we analysed the water flow from our mouth into our organs. The main organ is our kidneys. They would filter the toxic from our body with clean water. With less water, the urine colour is very yellowish and is an unhealthy sign for us. Besides being sick, a person might have “stone” problems within their body after a long term.

b) Storybook: The Ants and The Grasshoppers
* Some kids have heard of this famous story but in Mandarin version.
* I drew the ants’ underground home….and they go…”Wow, so many tunnels!”….with the Queen Ant busy laying eggs.
* The ants worked together to gather food under the hot sun. They know that they would be hungry as there won’t be food in the winter.
* The grasshoppers teased them for being overworked! They continued singing and laughed at the ants.
* Finally, when winter arrived; the hungry grasshoppers were the ones crying searching for food. Then they came upon the ants’ home. They asked for food.
* The kind-hearted gave them some food despite their teasing.
* Moral: Be hardworking and not lazy. We must be kind-hearted so that we won’t have any enemies.
