A Handmade Storybook

Wednesday ( 07/09/2011)

a) Discussion: McQueen Magical Restaurant
• Some kids kept asking if we could learn about cars or Angry Bird as yesterday majority decided to learn about Food and Plants. I explained the importance of “vote” power. However, we brainstormed together about our new theme.
Teacher: Where can you get food? Rei: Food shops.
Teacher: Where can you get presents? Hiro:KFC
Tzen Yu: Mc Donalds.
• Thus, the kids agreed fully to set up a food restaurant so that they can even learn to buy and sell. It is similar to McDonalds except that we are focusing more on healthier and friendlier style of restaurant. After brainstorming many names, majority won with the new thematic name, “McQueen Magical Restaurant”.

b) The Lantern Festival Song.
• At first, we listened to the Chinese version of “Yue Liang Yuan”. Then, we translated into Chinese version. There was lots of laughter of course….haaaaaa!
“Oh, Chang Er, Oh Chang Er…….
Please fly down from the Moon, We are having a Mooncake party, please come and join us!
Oh, Hou Yi, Oh Hou Yi……
Do you miss Chang Er? We are having a Mooncake party, please come and join us!
Long Time ago, there was a hero; his name was Hou Yi.
He shot down 9 hot suns and save the Earth. Jade Emperor gave him 2 magical pills,
A thief tried stealing it, Chang Er swallowed them and started flying to the Moon!
Back to Chorus.

c) A Handmade Storybook.
• The kids started colouring pictures and to give them pretty side frames. Tomorrow, we shall cut and assemble them.
