Revision & Word Recognition

We had a revision on seal and sea lion. There’s another seal family that the children were interested in – walrus. Therefore, we went through some facts about walrus.

Facts about walrus:

-          Walrus is parts of the seal family   

-          Walrus has tusk

-          Male walrus is called bull

-          Female walrus is called cow

-          Baby walrus is called calf

-          Walrus diet: shellfish, fish, squid etc

-          Walrus’ natural predator: killer whale and polar bear

At the same time, we also discussed that walrus is an endanger animal as people killed them for their tusk, fat and skin. Kwan Ming showed us a book on endanger animal where it also mentioned some extinct animal such as the dodo bird.

I guided the children to observe the look of the walrus and we managed to draw one on the board. After that, the children tried to draw it on their own.

Once again, we went through all the names of the sea creatures that the children had coloured some times ago. This time round, the children managed to recognize more words though not all. We shall have more practice on this.
