Voting and book sharing

Before moving in to the book sharing session for today, we had a short discussion about what’s the next underwater sea creature that the children would like to learn. The children suggested some sea creatures such as dolphin, octopus, seahorse, seal and stingray. The children voted for their favourite sea creatures. The result of the voting was as followed:
-          dolphin (vote: 7)
-          octopus (vote: 5)
-          seahorse (vote: 15)
-          seal (vote: 16)
-          stingray (vote: 8)

As a result we shall start off next week with seal. It’s a marine mammal. Looking at the sea creatures that the children had suggested, we all decided that we shall cover all these as it’s the children’s favourite one. Therefore, we shall learn about all these in such sequence:
-          1st : seal
-          2nd: seahorse
-          3rd: stingray
-          4th : dolphin
-          5th: octopus

Dear parents, you may wish to look into any books, VCD or even games suggestions for the above sea creatures to enhance the children’s understanding and interest.

Book sharing: The Shark in the Dark by Peter Bently



There’s a greedy shark which lives in the dark sea. When the shark is hungry, he will swim out to look for food. All the other fish were very scare and not willing to be his food. One day, when the hungry shark swam towards the school of fish again, they all went and hide at the shipwreck and asked squid if he could help them. Squid got an idea.

When the shark saw a dim shadow swimming towards him, he thought it was a little fish and might be delicious for a meal. However, when the dim shadow comes nearer and nearer, it appeared to be the shadow of a whale. The whale wanted to eat the shark. Therefore, the shark swam away quickly without any food that day.

As the dim shadow of the whale swam towards the light, it was just a big group of fish. The fish made up the shape of the whale and scared the shark away.
