The Silver Conch

Tuesday (14/04/2009)

(a) "Tongue Twister”
We repeated the twister. “She sells seashells on the seashore”.
They enjoyed the speed of it!

(b) Flash Card games
As a revision.
Each picked a card randomly. They walked around as they hear the music. When I stopped, they chose a partner. The shorter one would start by reading the card. The other partner must read after him or her. Next, it’s the taller partner’s turn.
Then, they wrote down their word and drew. The second word would be any word they liked. They could choose amongst their friends.

(c) The Silver Conch Shell
We learnt about it. These are the facts:
They have a foot and also a pair of tentacles and eyes…..similar to a snail.
The shell is actually their skeleton. They sticky body is due to its mantle similar to saliva. It would build the shell. To do this, it needs to eat lots of food. It eats algae and small tiny sea animals.
People from Sepanyol and European countries eat them. However, it is against the law to export these creatures. Traders used their shells as crafts.
A Silver Conch also produces pearl. The kids then lined up to listen to the Conch. They could hear a sound similar to the wave.
That is actually the sound of their flowing blood in their ears. Eugene, “Take any empty container, you can also hear it”. He’s right. However, because the Conch has a beautiful spiral, therefore; the sound is different.
