Tiger
Today, we moved on to another animal - tiger. Tiger is a lone ranger according to the encyclopedia. The children were still quite sure that tiger lives in Africa. I spent some time telling them that lion, cheetah or even leopard doesn't know who tiger is. Tiger lives in Asia.
Tigers are orange with black stripes. Their little ones are called cubs. From the encyclopedia, the children learned that tiger will have their territory no matter male or female. They don't stay in groups. It's quite different with those animals that we had learned previously. Then, I spent some time to explain territory to the children again. Tiger cubs will stay with their mother until 18 months before leaving to stay on their own.
Due to insufficient time for today, we shall continue with the tiger facts tomorrow.

Vultures
Today, we revised about the information and facts that we learned about baboon. Then, we read something about vultures today.
The children were quite curious about this animal. Though some of them might have read about vultures, yet most of them don't know anything about it.
Vulture is a large bird of prey. It feeds on carcasses. However, the children understand dead animal instead of carcasses. The vulture usually won't hunt as it's claws are blunt. It also took me a while to explain the meaning of blunt and sharp. I even gave some examples of sharp and blunt with the hope that the children could get its meaning. The special features of a vultures would be their featherless neck. It's because the vulture needs to put their head into the carcasses to eat the meat in it. If the vultures have feathers on their neck, the stains would be difficult for them to keep it clean and might lead to infections and sickness. Besides that children, I learned something today too.
We might do some worksheet on these three animals next week - hyena, baboon and vultures.

Revision & Word Games
Today, we revised again on the information that we had learned about rhinoceros and hippopotamus. Then, I have also added in some vocabularies for the children to study.
After that, I divided the class into 3 big groups with about 6-7 children in a group. Then, they have to form words from the word that I have given to them. They can only form words with 3 alphabets and above.
For example, I wrote a word on the board - extraordinary.
The children could form words like tea, toe, art, yard, yet etc.
Once the children understand the rules, I gave them 2 words to try on - hippopotamus & rhinoceros.
Each round were given about 60 seconds for everyone of them to come out to form a word for their group. If any of the member doesn't know the answer, the group members could help them. They can discuss and tell that member what to write on the board. Some of the groups could actually forms some words that out of my expectation.

Suddenly, I thought of an idea, I traced their outline of their foot on a piece of paper, then, they add in the details for their hippo. I guess this would be a better way for them to start off with.

Video Sharing - Hippos: Animals for children
From the video, the children learned that:
- Hippos are found in Africa
- Hippos are also called river horse
- Hippos are the 3rd large animals after elephant and rhinoceros
- Hippos likes to eat plants and graze on grass
- A male hippo is called bull, a female hippo is called cow and a young hippo is called calf
(suddenly, the children realized that "calf" is also the same as how a young rhino was called)
On the other hand, I found another alternative for the kids to wear the cheetah mask as most of their head and faces are pretty small. I get some of the children to help out by putting the elastic band instead of the rubber band that they brought earlier.
After that, the children wore the cheetah mask and act like a cheetah around the class:

Hippopotamus
By referring to the encyclopedia, we learned that hippopotamus is quite a huge animals. It also can be found in Africa. There are 2 kinds of hippopotamus, pygmy hippo & common hippo. There were some differences in their habitat as well.
We usually looked at the common hippo which loves to be in the water. Besides that, hippo lives in a group and spent most of their time in the water. They were brown in colour with some pinkish skin which act like a sunscreen for hippo. The children had some discussion about sunscreen and they learned the meaning of "crack".
I told the children that we shall watch a video on hippopotamus (if I could find it).

There were 23 questions for the children to choose from. I divided the children into 3 big groups. Each group were given a box of toys. Every time a child got an answer correct, he/she could pick up a piece of toy from the box and leave it on the table. The group of children needed to try their best to answer as many questions as possible so that they could collect more pieces of toys to build anything at the end of the day.
After 15 minutes of the quiz, these were collected by the children:
Now, each group of them needed to use all the collected pieces of toys to build anything. The condition is that, they have to use up all those pieces of toys.

However, once they noticed, immediately, they could tell me. The horns on the rhino's snout is missing. The children quickly added in the horns for it.
Some children were absent on last Friday. Therefore, I replay the video on rhinoceros for them. At the same time, we also revised the facts that we learned from the video.
Besides playing this video, I also played another video on a story - Giraffe Can't Dance.

Gerald the giraffe is very clumsy and he thinks that he can't dance. Every year, there will be a dancing festival among the animals in the jungle. Gerald the giraffe will be teased for not being able to dance. Gerald felt sad and moved away quietly. However, when he came to an open, he heard the cricket playing the violin asking him to listen to the music around him. Suddenly, Gerald started to dance according to the music that he likes. All the animals were amazed.

Game - How much you know?

The children needed to answer questions based on the animals that they had learned such as cheetah, leopard, giraffe, lion, gorillas, zebra and elephant. Before we get the game started, the children had to decide the actions to represent each animal.
The children were divided into 2 big groups. They can only act out the actions without saying it out. At first some of them still couldn't control themselves and shouted out the answer before the actions. Marks were not given to that group. After a few rounds, they some how understood and co-operate with their fellow group members to complete the game.
It's sort like a summary of information that they have learned so far. We also revised on the vocabulary that we had gone through so far.
The vocabularies are: cheetah, leopard, tear lines, lion, pride, zebra, strips, herd, giraffe, neck, elephant, trunk, tusk, gorilla, silver back.
