Food and drinks

Thursday (15/09/2011)

a) The various.
• The kids brainstormed on the various of food and drinks they can think of.

b) Game: Hide and Seek.
• Picture cards of Food and Drinks were prepared earlier. We called out each name together. After 3 rounds, the kids named the pictures by themselves. The, we categorized them according to the title ”food” or “drinks”.
• Among: Orange juice, water, coffee, cheese, burger, cake, fruits, pizza, ice-cream and etc.
• The class was divided into 2 groups. The boys and the girls. First, the girls waited outside the classroom while the boys were excitedly hiding those flashcards. Then, the girls came in searching. Some boys were very funny; they got so excited that they pointed to the places where they hid the pictures……haaa Before the girls’ turn to hide, I reminded the kids not giving any clues to their friends. This time round, it got better!
c) Analysing wheatgrass seeds.
• Gee…..it’s strange, the seeds are the same as before. No sprouts. Well, the internet information said it will take 1 to 2 days to sprout a little. Well, we hope they will when we come back to school next week.
d) A Log Book.
• Each kid arranged 8 sheets of paper and put a Cover page right in front for me to staple. Then, they write their names. The new 5 year-old kids need some assistance
• The kids will bring home the log book for the weekend to cut and paste pictures of food and drinks for 2 pages only. If they don’t have, they can draw them. This exercise is to help them understand about the various food and drinks types and products. At the same time, parents will guide them to relate to their daily activities and surroundings.
