Peter Pan's Hat

Thursday (21/10/2010)

a) Treasure hunt
After recapping the song of “Folowing The Leader” while marching with fun, I wrote a question on the board。
“ Would you like to go to Never Never Land?” It is an invitation but the guests (the kids) need to hunt for a treasure before going there.
* They had to search for 6 scrolls of letters tied with a golden thread. 2 were in our classroom, 1 in phonics, 2 at the school hall and 1 in the canteen.
* They were told to be as quiet as can be so that the pirates would not track them for their treasure. The kids were very obedient and they were so excited. Chun Kit found it in the treasure chest, Zhi Feng one under the chair, Yun Xin found one behind the picture and Wee Hong found one near the staircase while Qian Joe found one stuck to the long dragon model.

b) The clue instruction.
* The kids rearranged the words and it sounded, "You must make a quill hat". Each kid must make a hat in order to visit Never never Land.

c) The hat craft.
* Each kid was given a rectangle cardboard. They folded into half and creased hard. Then, they reopened the cardboard to fold both ends to the centre similar to a plane craft. Only Natalie, Xiang Wei, Zhi Feng needed prompting.
* Then, they pasted with cellophanetape and started putting onto their head.
* Each table was given brushes, plates and green poster colour. The kids were advised not to add too much water as the cardboard would get soaked and torn easily. They painted with determination and really enjoyed themselves. I advised them to paint twice to produce a better looking hat.

d) The quill.
* The kids were advised to look for a quill at home so that they could attcah to the hat. Otherwise, we would make the quill tomorrow. To be continued......
