Introduction of Ingredients & Voting for new topic

I would like to introduce the ingredients to the children before the activity tomorrow.

Basically, we needed the following ingredients for making the sushi rice:-

-1) Japanese rice
-2) a carrot
-3) some fresh sweet corns
-4) a packet of seaweed (those that used for wrapping sushi)
-5) a small bottle of roasted sesame sauce
-6) a small bottle of sandwich spread

I briefly went through the steps for the making of the sushi rice to the children so that they could have some idea about it tomorrow:-

Steps of making sushi rice:-
-1) Cook the Japanese rice
-2) Cook the fresh sweet corns
-3) Sliced the carrot
-4) Mixed all the above ingredients together with the sandwich spread & roasted sesame sauce

Since the theme is coming to an end soon, we needed to choose another small topic to start off with. We only have about 6-8 weeks time only. Therefore, we needed a topic that we could do for that duration. I guided the children to vote for the topic.

The children suggested the following topic:-
-transportation
-animals
-colours
-family
-storybooks
-in a house

After a round of explanation and discussion, the children started to vote for their favourite topic. Finally, the children chose - "In a House" as their next topic. I believe this was being influenced by the reading passage that we did earlier about - "In the Home". Hopefully the children would enjoy the new topic. We shall start on next Monday.
