Our ship.

Thursday (11/11/2010)

a) Our ship
• I sketched a picture of a ship on the whiteboard. Then, I sketched with a pencil on a big piece of cardboard box.
• We discussed a little about our performance. It will be the moment Soon Yu and Xiang Wei to carry the ship out when the Disney friends are captured.
• The kids were divided into two groups. One to colour the sea blue. The other to colour the ship brown. As we didn’t have brown, I showed the kids that a mixture of red and black is equal to brown.
• Although it was quite messy, but they really enjoyed themselves.

b) The telescope and flags.
• To avoid the crowded kids at the ship, Zheng Yuan and Yu Xuan painted the telescope orange. Meanwhile, YUn Xi and Xing Tong painted the recycled paper orange to be used as the pirate flag.

c) About birds.
• As we are going to the Bird Park tomorrow, we watched a little about birds. There are many types of birds. Some could fly while some not. Some are big while some are not. Chickens and ducks can’t fly high while sparrow and eagles fly high. Vultures eat left over animals’ dead body. Dark blue colour peacock is the male peacock. The owl sleeps in the morning and wakes up at night to hunt its food.
• Well, kids are advised to sleep early tonight for the trip.

d) Our performance.
• The kids were overwhelmed especially when we had 4 year- old class as our audience as well as a few teachers too.
• We need to practise a lot and overcome the kids fear. Chia Yen was brave after with some encouragement.
• First, we did the dance, “Following The Leader”, then The Princesses’ Dance and finally Michael Jackson performance.
• Overall, they had grasped the steps but practice would improvised their skill. 
