Monday（18/06/2012）

a)      How was your Father’s Day?

Kids: Good!    Jun Qian: We bought a strawberry cake for father.

Kai Song: We also ate a delicious cake.

Rei: I gave dad the salad on Friday and the Car Card on Saturday.

Yi Han: My father said the perfume smelled bad.               Si Suen: My father said it smelt good!

Class: Laughed! J

b)      Picture Cards.

l       We recalled the car wash last Friday. We recapped vocabulary learnt.

Internal car parts: steering, gear dashboard, aircond (air-conditioner), window, car lock, signal, door lock, brake.

External car part: car remote system, windscreen, wipers, headlight, boot, hood, engine, wheels, tyre, petrol cover.

c)       More about cars.

*Steering adjusts the wheels. Turn the steering to right and the wheels will turn right and vice versa.

*Car lock: Protects the car from being stolen.

*Xiang Wei described about the car remote alarm. Wei Lok and Hiro added on.

d)      Road or Street and Highway.

l       I asked the kids to brainstorm streets that they know of. These included Highway, flyover, steep street like slide and also tunnels.

l       Rei suggested that we used boxes to make roads. I brought in cardboards but kids said that they were too soft for cars. We followed Rei’s idea and wow….it worked well! The kids immediately took some blocks to make into a cube telling me that that’s the parking lot! J

l       I let the kids experiment with transportation toys. They made roads for all sort of cars. They also assembled train railway! It was fun!
