a) Firefighter toys
b) The Charity Letter
c) Drawing
a) Firefighter toys
* Teacher Huang bought some toys for us. So, I introduced them to the kids and everyone started imagining what they could do with them. The tools were: axe, compass, watch, fire extinguisher, whistle and steel.
* Devin said the axe is for opening the stuck door. The steel can also be used to open doors and windows that trapped victims. They can also be used for accident victims.
* Shi Jie explained that compass can be used if firefighters are trapped in the burning house. Yun Wen asked how they could see in the dark smoke. They might have torchlight for emergency. Compass would guide them with directions such as North, South, West or East. Their watches are the glowing type.
* Devin asked again, “Where is Haiti?” I drew the map again and explain the earthquake situation. Wee Hong said, “Isn’t it too late to save them. They are dead!”
Teacher: We can always help the rescued victims in terms of food or water.
b) The Charity letter.
* We discussed the contents of the letter to Zheng Yuan’s mother. The content was:
Dear Mrs. Khoo,
We are children from Pomegranate Class. We know that you bake delicious cookies. Can you teach us bake cookies? We will sell the cookies for charity.
Thank you.
Love,
Pomegranate Class,
2010.
* Zheng Yuan said his mother loves Sunflowers. So, I drew some on the board. I also drew a baker as she would teach us to bake. Thus, the kids decide what to draw for her. Some drew a fire house, firefighters, a garden, happy homes and also bakers.
* Shi Jie, Jing Kai and Jun Hong assisted at writing. Zheng Yuan said his mother likes any nice drawings. He decided to draw a big fire truck and make a ladder for her.
c)Charity activities
* Some started cutting patterns for the charity activities. Example: “春” which means spring and some tiger stripes.

oh no wonder Jun Yu keep asking me whether I can come to his school I thought he want me to do ocupation talk so I told him mummy just a ordinary housewife hence got nothing special to talk about :p but I'm not a good cook or baker neither so can't help also ... ;) Zheng Yuan's mother is the best candidate as she attended baking class before.
Hi Serene,
It's okay. The invitation is to boost kids' confidence. They can relate better when seeing whoever the guest is. A housewife has the busiest duties and they make things happen just like how you brought up your kids! Great job!
