Things in Golden

I asked the children to look for something in golden colour at home and anything that can make the sound like a bell. Zhen Yuan brought a 20 cent gold coin to share with his fellow classmates. Besides that he also brought 2 empty tin cans and wanted to try out if it sounds like a bell.

Then I shared the book of colours that Yu Xi brought earlier to refresh the children’s imagination again about things that might be in golden colour. Then I asked the children if we can’t find anything that could sound like a bell, maybe we can just an art craft bell. They agreed.

Song – Golden Ribbons (Sang in the tune: Frere Jacques)

Golden ribbons, golden ribbons,

See them shine, see them shine.

Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle,

Glitter, glitter, glitter,

Oh, so fine; oh, so fine.

Storybook Sharing – The Train is on the Move!

Today, I picked a story book to share with the children. This is a book in Mandarin but I tried my best to translate the sentences into English. The name of the book is directly translated –“The Train is On the Move!”

This is a story about a boy called Tom. He lives in a dull and grey city. He always wishes that there’s some wonderful and exciting things would happen. One morning, Tom was looking at his round biscuits and reminded him about a train. Therefore, he took his train to school. During the art class, he was playing with his train and then unconsciously, he fell into a dream.

In his dream, he was in his train going through some green crocodiles’ bridge and then he came to a garden of red flower. After that, the train passed by a golden beach. Down in the blue sea he went and he saw many blue fishes. Later, he came to a white snowy place with snow man and the train went through a tunnel. In the tunnel, there’s a lot of black monster. Suddenly, Tom dropped off the train and his classmates tried to wake him up. He quickly drew all the things his sees inside his dream. There were such colourful pictures.
