An Invitation Letter

a) An Invitation Letter
* As we knew that Teacher Hoo or rather Mr. Hoo, our prinicipal was once a Dragon Dance team player, we got excited to invite him as our trainer.
* The kids learnt that a player needs to be very disciplned! So, they thought of the qualities Mr. Hoo has.
* From there, we started constructing a letter to invite him. We brainstormed together.

b) A token of appreciation.
* It’s a custom that we must thank our visitors. WE listed a few presents for him. Wen Yue suggested that we draw. Jin nan suggested a dragon. Then, Ze Yan was ever so excited to show his brother’s dragon drawing. So beautiful indeed! Finally, we decided to make a scroll bar poster for Mr. Hoo.

c) Segregation of duties.
* The kids volunteered for writing: Song Chuan, Jen Ning, Sharlene and Xin Ru. The first three were indepenedent. It was quite a challenging task for Xin Ru to write 2 long sentences. She was so determined not to give up. Thus, I encouraged her with little guidance.
* The other kids preferred to draw pictures as decoration for the letter and the scroll bar poster. As they had just learn about dragon, most of them started sketching dragons. They were awesome! I was surprised with Jing Kai’s good dragon drawing!

d) Fire Crackers.
* After that, the kids continued with making our long fire crackers as class decoration.
