My Ocean Class

Thursday ( 11/03/2011)

a) My trip sharing.
• Today, we started the class later because I accompanied the 5 year-old kids to National Science Centre for “Dinosaur Exhibition”. It was full of excitement….wooooh!
• I shared with the kids about the surroundings as we are going there next Friday. There are at least 2 big playgrounds with one on a pool. The playgrounds are on the hill and it shall be a great challenge for the kids. However, it’s not dangerous. There is also an outdoor aquarium site breeding Freshwater animals. Next, there is a butterfly park with animals and insets in the dry aquarium such as Horned Frog, iguana and scorpions. At the indoor, there is a Science Exhibition and Experiments involving a submarine, space, science tools, The Solar System, The Human Body. At the entrance, we can see fishes around us which are Freshwater animals. The dinosaurs were on the first floor and there were about 20 huge dinosaurs of plant and meat eaters. They are robotics. Thus, the kids were excited.

b) Class decoration.
• Then, we worked together by decorating our classroom wall. There’s a hill with streams, which diverted to rivers, seas and oceans. We also made a few ponds and lakes. Then, the kids pasted the freshwater and saltwater animals on the papers. They kept checking with me where to paste the animals.
