a) Song: Thinkety Think.
· We recap the meaning and sang the song. It meant not giving up at anything you do.
b) Gondola boat origami.
· Shawn and Jia Xun said they know how to fold. Thus, I gave them paper and they folded in the circle. Jia Xun’s folding was loose while Shawn has forgotten a few steps. Shawn said his father taught him.
· I showed kids my step-by-step instruction to fold. I repeated twice before giving them the paper. Only 5 years old needed more guidance while some 6 years old needed prompting at turnin the paper inside out.
· Then, they wrote their names.
c) Sand play.
· The kids were so excited that thye dug the sand and made narrow rivers or canals. They were amazed at how the water became like a big lake. They took turns but then the unpredictable weather started drizzling. We shall continue again another day.
d) The Video Clip
l We watched how Ventians rowed the gondolas and tourists enjoyed themselves. Some gondolas have got musicians and singers ….with higher fees. We also saw the beautiful architectural buildings along the canals.
l We also watched the beautiful masks worn by Italians during their colourful festivals. Some masks were scary though…some were beautiful.
