Winter decoration.

Monday (21/05/2012)



a) Vocabulary.

 We recapped words learnt. These included: season, winter, spring, summer, autumn, snowman, skating, skiing and Aurora.



b) Jun Qian’s book.

 He brought a book on animals. Thus, we tried identifying winter animals. We saw Polar Bear, Moose, Brown Bear, Goose, whale and many more.

 We learnt “migration” namely moving from a place to another. Birds would migrate from cold to warm place. Some squirrels and mousedoors would hide in their homes at winter.

 Some animals such as bears would hibernate; namely sleeping for almost 3 months. Their heartbeat at this period is very slow as they don’t consume food or move around. Thus a huge big bear would slim down when they wake up for Spring.

 Kids asked me, “What about spiders or insects or leopard? Do they hibernate?” I told them that I would check info about that.



c) Winter decoration.

 Kids made eyes, nose, mouth, buttons and scarf for the snowman using colour paper.

 Then, they coloured the sky with many colours to represent “Aurora” or the magical Northern Lights which can be found only in the cold Arctic and Antarctica Poles.

 They also labeled the pictures.
