Safe or Danger

Thursday (25/02/2010)
a) Hot or Cold
· We discussed about Jun Hong’s DVD on Firefighters. The kids could remember about the kitchen explosion due to the leaking gas cylinder.
· Thus, we went to the kitchen to analyse the school’s gas cylinder. Zhe Qing said her father’s shop sells many gas cylinders. We had 2 red ones. I showed them the top cover with its nozzle. I pulled it out and the kids could smell some gas. Then, I closed it back. If the cover was not properly closed, the gas might cause explosion especially with anyone walking in with a cigarette.
· Furthermore, the tube that connects to the stove can sometimes leak but how do we know? This was the task I gave to the kids to check with their parents.

b) Worksheet
· We learnt the words, “hot” and “cold”. Kids identified the particular items and then write those 2 words.
· They identified microwave, iron and matches as hot. Meanwhile, crayons, trolleys and books as cold which do not directly contribute to fire.
· Then, the kids d their worksheet and coloured the pictures.

c) The Recycling Clay
· Our clay which we added with water yesterday had become mud. Yeah, then we wrapped with wrapping plastic to avoid evaporation as it would be hardened. When we turned the bowl upside down, the mud didn’t fall.
