It’s Snowing!



Monday (14/05/2012)

a)      Wushu Lesson.
* Our Wushu lesson is every Monday until 4.30p.m. followed by tea-break. Then, we would have a short lesson on thematic.

a)       Invitation to year 4.
l  We haven’t invited 4 year-old kids as they had activities last week. Thus, we marched to their classroom and invited them for our games tomorrow about 4.45 p.m. They were excited about it!

b)      Winter Season!
l  Kids were cutting newspaper into pieces but they didn’t know the reason. I told them it was a surprise though I gave them clue that we are learning about winter. So, they were anxious and curious about it!
l  We went upstairs to Phonics classroom and who….it was so cold as I have turned on the air-cond earlier. Kids were so happy and none of them felt too cold! Then, it got even excited when I turned on the standing fan and blew the bits of newspaper towards them and of course, joy was everywhere! Oops….hold on, kids! Those are snowflakes!
l  As we don’t have 4 seasons in Malaysia, it’s a challenge to teach seasons here!

c)       About Winter.
l  The Earth is divided into 2 hemispheres or parts. The Northern and Southern. Previously, we learnt that countries located on Equator or middle line have got only hot and rainy weather. However, countries above and below Equator line, would have 4 seasons.
l  Some winter countries which further to the north and south; have got shorter days as it’s difficult seeing a bright day. Nights are much longer than days. Some have slightly longer days. However, I stressed that when, it’s summer in Southern hemisphere; it’ll be winter in Northen. Kids were wondering why? We shall continue tomorrow.
