Book Sharing – Undersea Creatures

Kwan Ming brought a book called “Undersea Creatures” where it introduced all sorts of sea creatures. The children listen quietly as we went through all of it. Among the creatures mentioned in the book were as followed:

Lion fish, great white shark, banded sea krait, octopus, blackdevil anglerfish, leafy sea dragon, white spotted puffer fish, horseshoe crab, leopard seal, Portuguese man-of-war, brown of thorns sea star, giant moray eel, flying fish, blue spotted stingray, giant tubeworm and killer whale.

Out of all those creatures that we had gone through, the children decided to start with whale. Therefore, next week we shall focus on whales while this week we shall focus on some basic facts and art work about fish.

Book Sharing – Big Al by Andrew Clements and Yoshi

This is a story about a big, friendly yet scary looking fish who wanted to have friends to play with. Its name is Big Al. With its’ size and sharp teeth, it always scared other fish away. Though he tried a lot of ways such as disguise with seaweeds, coloured himself as other fish, or even buried himself in the sand at the bottom of the sea to look smaller didn’t help him to get any new friends.

However, one day, he rescued a school of fish where they were caught in the fisherman’s net. He ripped off the net with his sharp teeth and saved them. Finally, all the fish befriended with Big Al who is a fierce looking but friendly fish.
