Play with the Frog

The children were very enthusiastic to play with the frog art that they did yesterday. So I got them to read the below nursery rhyme while acting with their frog accordingly.

The wordings are as followed:

Five little froggies sitting on the well,

One looked up and down he fell,

Froggie jumped high, froggie jumped low,

Four little froggies danced to and fro.

Four little froggies sitting on the well

(continue until there’s no more froggie)

I got 5 children to sit on the table as though they were sitting on the well. Then the other group of children will say the nursery rhyme until no more froggie left on the table. Some of the children were quite alert when comes to their turn especially they have to looked up and fell down. The children were so cooperative and they enjoyed the whole activities. 

Haha, the frog looked up and down he fell!

The froggie jumped high and low

Colour Mix

After the froggie activities, we still got some time. So I take this opportunity to ask them the mixture of colours.

Teacher: Which two colours I mix together you will get green?

Kwan Ming: Blue and yellow.

Teacher: Are you sure?

Kwan Ming: Yes, I saw it on television.

Phoeon: Red, yellow, pink….

Teacher: Is there any other answer?

Children: No….I don’t know…

Jun Qian: Can we test it?

Teacher: Sure.

I brought in some blue and yellow paint. First, I painted blue on the paper and then followed by yellow. The children were amazed to see the changes of the colours.

Children: Wow, it changed to green.

Children: Kwan Ming you are so clever.

I got some scrap paper ready and let the children tried it out themselves. 

Will it turn colour?

See, it turned green!

This is what the children did!
