a)     
A Guest.

l       We were lucky to have Kuang Cheng’s father to show and tell us about his Tow Truck. Kuang Cheng is a 5-year old kid.

l       The Tow Truck has got 5 gears externally. The gear is to control the steel to tow cars. It also controls the chain to pull vehicles which had fallen into drains and etc. It has a tool box externally to keep important tools such as longer and bigger chains and jumpers. The kids tried pressing the jumper…but…woh….it was so hard!

l       Our class were very interested with the number of tyres on it. There were 8 tyres altogether with 2 spare tyres. The kids said the parts below the truck was big as they peeped under the truck. The engine is 4.3 while a normal MyVi is 1.3. The truck could even tow a gas lorry with the change of truck’s chain.

l       Mr. Lim is a mechanic but had been driving Tow Truck as his part-time as he thinks it’s a way to do business.

b)     
Towing MyVi.

l       Mr. Lim showed the kids how to tow my car. First I drove my car near the truck. Mr. Lim adjusted the truck steel so that I could drive my wheels onto them. Then, he adjusted pulled his gear as to lift my car. Kids were excited and asked if her really wanted to tow my car. Luckily, it was just a demonstration.

c)       Discussion.

l       In the afternoon, we had a discussion. A Tow Car is to tow vehicles which are broken down or spoilt. Banks also towed cars which were not paid by buyers.

l       There are a few types of Trucks. They are: Pick-up truck, Monster truck and Delivery truck. Bigger Tow Trucks are used to tow bigger vehicles.

d)      Speed Boat Balloon.

l       Kids continued with the Dragon Boat craft. Today, kids practiced blowing the balloons from a straw. Most kids already mastered the method. Yi Han, Yu Xi, Jia Jia, Jun Qian and Wei Lok found it difficult. However, they kept trying. Finally, Yi Han and Jun Qian managed to do it. They wee so happy!

l      
We pasted the straw balloon to the paper boat. We had pair competition. The simifinalsit were Rei, Si Suen, Xing En and Shang Hong. The finalist were Rei and Xing En. Xing En won and was crowned the champion! Hooray!

e)       Cartoon Movie: Cars 2.

l       Many car were excited to participate in Grand Prix Racing in Japan. Lightning McQueen was one of them. We watched their travelling adventures in Japan. They were groomed or painted and polished. They used eco-petrol which could is friendly to the Earth. Many other normal cars went to support them.
