Why we need to protect elephants?

We had a discussion about protecting elephants. I explained that people hunt for the elephant for their tusk to make into all sorts of accessories.

At first, the children were quite excited sharing their thoughts about killing the elephant. I have to remind them that we should not be thinking of killing the elephant just because of its tusk. After a few of them who shared their thoughts, finally, I have to make an example of them as elephants and they have to imagine seeing other adult elephants being killed. Then, only they realised that killing is not supposed to be encourage here.

Zi Yue brought a VCD on Barney- Going to the Zoo. I played the VCD for only about 25 minutes today. The children got excited when they saw animals that they could name it out. We shall continued with the VCD tomorrow if we have the time for it.
