a) Flashcards
 We recapped words learn from the lessons. These include: run, wal, jump, hop, fly, open, stand and etc.

b) Athletics
 I introduced this word related to stadium.
 The participants are called “athletes”. The events include: sprint or running (100m, 200m, 800m), Baton race, hurdle race, long jump, high jump, disc throwing, shot putting and also javelin.
Qian Joe: My mum participated in shot putting in school.
 Some kids shared that their parents played certain sport activities in school such as javelin.

c) Parachute Race
 We did some warm up. The kids participated their ideas.
 Then, the girls held a huge curtain cloth sideways. The boys queued to race under the parachute cloth when the girls lifted. It tests the “unity”. If they don’ lift together, then it will be difficult for the racer to run under the curtain. When lifting, the kids cannot pull down the curtain. It has to fall back automatically by itself.
 Then, the kids exchanged their placed with girls running this time.

d) Race
 First, I introduced Baton Race. They were divided into 2 teams namely “Disney Kids” and “Happy Bird”.The Disney kids were more united although the racers ran faster in Happy Bird team. They had fun although tired. They requested to race again.
 Next, individual race. The kids were divided into 2 teams. They ran from 1 end to the other at the playground. It tested the kids listening skill as well as physical strength.

e) Continuation: RIO
* We continued the cartoon movie.. Linda agreed to help the scientist. So Blu was taken to Rio so that he could be mated for the next generation. Blu seemed to be the last bird iof its species. However, Blu’s mate didn’t like the idea. They escaped. Linda woke up feeling so sad thinking that they had been kidnapped. At the same time, that night; there was a break in to the scientist’s lab to steal the endangered animals…….Tobe continued.
