Happy, Happy Transportation – Story Sharing

Today, I got some of the children to complete their art work. Yi Han, Bee Chien and Ivy have to finish their colouring and cutting out the shape of the bus. On the other hand, Wei Ni has to complete her traffic light art and craft.

Derek and Jun Qian brought a storybook each about Thomas and friends. They wanted to share with the classmates. So our activity today is storybook sharing.

Firstly, we started with Jun Qian who wanted to read the storybook to his classmates. It is “Hello, Thomas”. It’s a short and simple story introducing all the trains in Thomas & friends. All the classmates listen carefully and quietly while Jun Qian was reading the story to them.

Secondly, I read a short story about “The Wheels on the Bus”. The children were attracted to the events that happened in the bus such as the wiper goes swish, swish, swish; the baby cries wah wah wah; the parents said sh, sh, sh, to the baby; the bus door open and shut etc.

Lastly, I read “Thomas and Gordon- off the Rails” to the children. This story was about Gordon who grumbled of pulling trucks and got himself landed in the dirty ditch. Thomas teased him. Thomas then got himself stuck in a pit hole as he didn’t follow instruction at the mine. He was not supposed to cross the danger line but he wanted to have some adventure for the day. However, when Gordon got to know about the incident, he was laughing at it but he still rush to rescue Thomas. Both of them felt disgrace with their silliness but later they understand that they were not supposed to tease at each other. The moral story to the children is united we stand, together we fall. We were not supposed to laugh or tease at any of their friends who need help.
