Book Sharing & Blowing bubbles

Today, we started off by having a book sharing session with the children. I chose the book - Ted, Bo and Diz The First Adventure. This lovely book is about these 3 friends who went on an adventure in their dinghy and they encountered a group of polar bear sleeping on the iceberg. When the iceberg started to break off, they needed to find a way to send the polar bears home. Fortunately, there were a group of whales nearby which they could help to send the polar bears home. The moment they said goodbye to the polar bears, came a bigger piece of iceberg with lots of penguins on it.

From here, I have to explain the globe to the children. They gave me some answers with my guidance such as where they could find polar bears and penguins. With this lesson, I also brought up the issue of the changes of climate and temperature of the Earth that causes such an encounter. I'm not sure how much could the children understand. Yet, with such thoughts, hopefully they could explore it much further in the future.

We have another about 20 minutes left for the lesson today, I brought the children back to the garden again with the bubble solutions that we had mixed the other day. We tested with some of it and found out that the bubble solution still can be used. Therefore, I gave each of them a bowl and the hoop. After the first experience they had previously, it seems that the children could handle the bubble solution much better this time. They even enjoyed it much more compared to the other day. We had used up all the bubble solution this time.

Note: 14th October 2015, Wednesday will be a public holiday. It's Awal Muharram. The school will be closed. Therefore, there's no blog update for tomorrow.
