Happy, Happy Transportation – Know about Thomas & friends

Today, we started with the train topic for transportation. Bee Chien brought some train toys and it’s from the Thomas and friends series. Bee Chien was absent today. So I got Jun Qian to introduce Thomas & friends to the children.

Teacher: Jun Qian, can you introduced the number 1-6 trains to all your friends?

Jun Qian: No. 1 is Thomas. No. 2 is Edward.

Teacher: Look, Edward is longer than Thomas. Thomas is a small train.

Jun Qian: No. 3 is Henry. No. 4 is Gordon.

Teacher: Henry is as long as Gordon.

Jun Qian: No. 5 is James. No. 6 is Percy.

Teacher: Percy is the same length as Thomas and James is as long as Edward.

So I used this chance to introduce “long, longer than, the longest”. I also used another example by comparing the height of the children. I picked Jia Jia, Yi Han and Yu Xin to give an example of such comparison by using “tall, taller than, the tallest”.

At the same time, the words of the numbers were introduced to the children. They took turn to spell out the words of the numbers from 1 – 10. An activity will be conducted according to this on Thursday. I reminded the children to revise it at home. Hopefully parents could guide them to recognize the wordings of the numbers from 1- 10. 

There's no blog update tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. I shall update it on Thursday.
