Binocular Crafts.

Thursday (26/04/2012)



a) Wei Lok’s storybook: Animal Airways.

 It’s a very nice story of animals from different countries. The elephants of Africa board the aeroplane to visit its animal friends around the world. Tigers from India, camels from Egypt, Pandas from China, Racoons from South America, Hedgehog from New York USA, snakes from India and penguins from South Pole.

 The book has got a long aeroplane flip from first to last page; which attracted kids’ attention. Thus, we can find lots of creative and wonderful books!



b) Songs: Rainbow, Green Grass Grows All Around.

We further recapped on the importance of trees. Kids recalled what they learnt on Earth Day lesson. Trees take in the poisonous CO2 from factories gases and human respiration. Trees absorbed water thus avoiding flood and landslide! Trees are homes to many animals. Next Friday, we are going to Tzu Chi to learnt about recycling activities.

The Rainbow Song

Red and yellow and pink and green

Purple and orange and blue

I can sing a rainbow,

sing a rainbow,

sing a rainbow too.

Listen with your ears,

See with your eyes,

and sing everything you see,

Now you can sing a rainbow,

sing a rainbow,

sing along with me.

Green Grass Grows All Around.

And in this egg

there was a bird

the prettiest bird

that you ever did see

and the bird in the egg

and the egg in the nest

and the nest on the branch

and the branch on the tree

and the tree in the hole

and the hole in the ground

and the green grass grows all around all around and the green grass grows all around





c) Castle crafts



 We thought of ways to make binoculars, telescope and other decorations. Hiro suggested that we use paper but kids were reminded that paper get wet in the rain. Thus, Si Suen suggested plastic bottles.

 6 kids assisted at making binoculars. The others assisted at cutting letters for the castle signboard flags. “MAGICAL CASTLE”. Some assisted at cutting the banner to the word “WELCOME”.

 We shall continue with games tomorrow.
