Revision Activity &
Book Sharing
Before going in to the book sharing
session, we did some revision on the ingredients and process of the crepe
making we did yesterday.
I wrote down the ingredients and methods
on a piece of big line mahjong paper. I leave some blanks for the children to
paste the words on it.
Today, the children got to learn – flour, sugar, salt, water, butter and eggs
Book Sharing – Strega
Nona
After that, I
shared an old tale with the children – Strega Nona. I didn’t
realize that story took us about half an hour to complete it.
This interesting story is
about Strega Nona who was a witch. Though the people in the town always whisper
behind her, yet they always look for her when they had trouble such as
headache, looking for a husband or a wart.
Strega Nona is getting old and
she needed a helper at home. After putting up the notice at the town square,
Big Anthony came to see her. Big Anthony needed to keep the house clean, fed
and milk the goat, weed the vegetables etc while Strega Nona will provide food
and place to stay for him. However, there’s a magic pasta pot that Big Anthony
was advised not to touch. One day, Big Anthony saw what Strega Nona did with
the pasta pot, he was amazed and wanted to try it out on his own.
Unfortunately, he didn’t watch the whole process of what Strega Nona was doing.
Once when Strega Nona was out
of town, Big Anthony took out the pasta pot and sang as what Strega Nona did.
The magic pot started to cook pasta and it was enough for the whole town to
eat. Unfortunately, Big Anthony couldn’t stop it from cooking and it flooded
the town with pasta. When Strega Nona came, she knew what’s going on and
stopped it. Big Anthony was being punished to finish up all the pasta that he
had cooked so that Strega Nona has a bed to sleep for the night.
We shall find one day to do
something with pasta as our activity.
