a) Rainbow Song
We sang the song to recap the meaning.
The kids were getting better at this song.
Justin’s “Finding Nemo” Book.
Justin was so enthusiastic about this book. It has the same story as the DVD we are yet to finish watching.
The difference is the book potrays people disguising as sea animals. The kids loved the most seeing the people disguising as Clown Fish. Haaa……the fish have legs! Le Xin insisted that they were Nemos and not Clown Fish. Jen Ning and Song Chuan immediately said that nemo was just the name of the fish. Similar to “You are a girl and your name is Susan”.
It was a colourful book with Starfish, the Moon Fish, Sting Ray, Octopuses, Jellyfish and the Shark of course.
Foo Soon asked if the shark was also disguised by people as it was so big with no legs. Well, most probably not. It might use the concept of hot air balloon to blow up the Great White Shark.
At the end, Nemo met his father, Marlin.

b) Continuation of Nemo
From the blow holes of the blue whale, marlin and Dory were now in the sea of Sydney. Seagulls were everywhere chasing to eat them. Luckily, the Pelican which were friend to the Aquarium Gang heard Marlin saying about Nemo. He saved them and quickly brought them to the dentist's. Meanwhile, Nemo was put in a plastic bag to be given to the dentist's niece. Nemo pretnded to die. That very moment, the pelican came with Marlin and Dory. They the unmovable Nemo. They gave up thinking that Nemo was dead. They flew away. Meanwhile, aquarium leader, Gill helped Nemo into the toilet bowl which led water into the drain, rivers, seas and oceans. When the pelican freed Marlin and Dory into the sea, they both eventually found Nemo and were overjoyed. Suddenly, Dory was trap in a big net together with a lot of fish. Marlin permitted Nemo to go into the net and motivated all fishes to throw themselves down against the net. They were freed because of Nemo.....wow! They return t their homes and lived happily ever after.
Along the movie, the kids learnt more about the whale and the water channeling.

c) Drawing: Finding Nemo.
* The kids drew their favourite pictures from the cartoon film. I thought that their drawings were amazing. Kids really absorp fast. The kids also learnt to label their sea animals.
