This week, the children learned how to ask questions and answer regarding to food.
Sample of question: Do you like to eat noodles? Answer: Yes, I do. / No, I do not.
Besides this, the children also get to express their like and dislike towards food. I also designed some games for the children to play with food.

This is we were still concentrating in doing the topic of "My Pets". The children had learned some simple sentences related to this pet topic such as:
I have a pet dog.
It can jump.
The children learned to make simple sentences by using those sentences taught earlier. Then, I prepared a worksheet for them to do. In this worksheet, the children needed to choose a pet animal and they have to come out with their own sentences. I guided them in writing those sentences on the board for them to copy.
Note: I joined a school field trip to Kuala Lumpur Bird Park on 11th October 2016 (Tuesday), therefore, there's no class on that day. Besides that, class was being combined with the six years old children on Wednesday and Friday due to absentees of teachers. Therefore, I make use of that time to discuss about the year end graduation ceremony with the children.

Discussion on a drama script
A few children came out to demonstrate their magic tricks yet not many of them were successful. However, I'm proud of their bravery of standing in front of their friends and giving the simplest explanation that they could.
Our thematic class is coming to an end tomorrow. I always wanted the children to try their best to come out with a story that they could include all the things that they have learned about in the story. I started the story for them and the children tried their best to continue it.
The story goes like this:
Long, long ago, there's a magician who wanted to play with magic. He wanted to transfer himself from box A to box B. But something went wrong. Instead of box B, he ended up into the dinosaur world. He saw 5 dinosaurs there. Suddenly, the 5 dinosaurs started to sing:
Five little dinosaurs sitting in the swamp,
The first one said, "Let's stomp, stomp, stomp."
The second one said, "It's time for lunch!"
The third one said, "Let's munch, munch, munch!"
The fourth one said, "Let's stomp some more."
The fifth one said, "Let's roar!"
As the dinosaurs were roaring and they saw the magician and started to chase after him. He quickly say his magic words again, "Magic, magic, send me to box B!"
It went wrong again. He ended up in a spaceship in space. He saw 5 astronauts there. After saying hello to each other, the 5 astronauts started to sing:
Five little astronauts sitting in space,
The first one said, "Let's drive the spaceship."
The second one said, "Let's take some pictures."
The third one said, "Let's count the planets."
The fourth one said, "Let's fly, fly, fly!"
The fifth one said, "Let's zoom!"
Magician: "Oh, no! I don't want to be in space. Magic, magic, send me to box B!"
He came back to Earth and saw a boy and a girl. He asked: "How can I go back to box B?"
The boy and girl started to sing the transport song. After singing the song, the magician said, "I don't want any car, boat, train or plane. I just want to go to box B!"
Therefore, he tried his magic words again. Finally, he came out back from box B.
After the script is out, the children wanted to act it out, therefore, I quickly sort out the numbers of children needed for each character in the story. The children were enjoying it though they were not the main character - the magician in the story. They wanted to try it again on the next day. It would be our last day tomorrow. Hopefully, the children could enjoy it to the fullest!

Magic Show
Sueanne said she wanted to perform a magic show for us. She needed just a coin. She placed the coin in her palm and then she covered it a little with the other hand. Then, suddenly, the coin started to climb out of her hand. The children were amazed. (I didn't get the chance to take any photos and videos as I was busy trying to guide her to explain her action to her friends.)
Then, Lik Shin said he also had another magic trick to show his friend but failed. Lik Shin just laughed at his own performance.
I brought in 2 experiments for the children to see.
#1: Guiding the Spacecraft
With the use of a cylinder and some yarn, I can guide the cylinder to move up and down whenever I wanted.
I let the children played with it after the demonstration.
#2: I prepared a coin, a transparent glass and water for the second experiment. This experiment is about the refraction of lights. I placed the coin under the transparent glass. The children could still see the coin there. However, when I filled up the glass with water, the coin seems disappear. The children couldn't believe their eyes and requested me to redo the demonstration.
After the demonstration, the children get to try it out on their own. However, no photos were taken for the second part.

I played a short video about an astronaut explaining of some experiment that they could in space. The children could also see the condition of the gravity in the space. Things are floating around them. They were amazed.

Get to Know the Planet Better Activity (part II)
Only a few of the kids managed to complete the activity correctly. Therefore, today, I will have to guide at least 10 of them to complete theirs. As a result, I asked those who had completed their task the day before to help me out and guide their friends to complete their task today. Most of them were willing to do so and I only needed to guide less than 5 of them.
Here were some pictures taken during the activity:

Get to Know the Planets Better Activity
The children were supposed to have their Wushu class today. However, it was cancelled as the Wushu teacher needed to rehearse with another class for the performance on the coming sports day. Therefore, we have the full hour of class today.
I found a worksheet that the children could colour it and arranged the 8 planets accordingly. It took the children quite some time to complete the colouring today.
However, I managed to get some of them to start by cutting out the planets and arranged them onto a piece of long black paper to represent the space. The children also needed to cut out the names of the planet that was printed on the worksheet itself.
I did a sample of this activity (without colour)

Facts on the last 4 planets & song
Today, we went through the facts of the last 4 planets - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune. The children were even more amazed with the facts mentioned about these 4 planets as they were very far away from the sun.
I read them a short story about space - Here in Space, written and Illustrated by David Milgrim.
After that, I play the solar system song for them again as they didn't know how to sing it. We practise a few times before we call it a day.

Lik Shin brought a book on space. It's an interesting book full with all sorts of areas to be explored. Besides that, Mei Jia also brought an astronaut toy to show to her classmates.
Then, by adapting one of the space information book that I found, we started off by learning the different names of the 4 planets from the sun - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars today. The children were amazed by the facts about these 4 planets even including Earth. Basically, we learned about the numbers of moon, the surface temperature of each planet, the orbit period of each planet and also other interesting facts about them.

What is space? What's so interesting about space?
I have gave some brief explanation to the children on the day before about space. However, only a few of them understand it.
Therefore, today, I guided the children to tell me what they know about space. Some mentioned about sun, star, moon, astronauts, space rocket etc.
We also talked a little about gravity and there's no gravity in space. The children also mentioned that the other teacher had shown them a video about how the astronauts pass urine in the spacecraft by using a bag.
Then, I did ask the children of their interest in space. I wanted to know what make space so special to them.
Some mentioned that space is scary, some mentioned that space is fun. Some even said that space got alien. All sorts of imagination.
Tomorrow we shall talk about the planets. Hopefully the children could focus as space is quite an abstract topic for some children.

Books on airplane, bicycle
Today, I shared 2 books with the children. First, I shared a book on airplane - Away in My Airplane by Margaret. This is a pretty simple to read book. I believe after I have read it to the kids, they could try to read it on their own.
After that, I wanted to read another book on bicycle. Yet, before I do that, I get the children to share their experience in learning to ride a bicycle. Zi Yue, Sueanne and Lik Shin came out to share their experience. They admitted that learning to ride takes a lot of courage and practise yet, they were very happy now that they could ride on their own without much help. This makes some kids envy especially for those who were still on training wheels.
Then, I shared the book - Everyone can learn to ride a bicycle by Chris Raschka.
In order to come out with a performance related to transportation, I hinted to the children that they could use any of the transport song that I have taught them. However, after some discussion, they decided to make some changes to the dinosaur rhymes that I have taught them previously.
I only suggested some, most of the wordings were suggested by the children themselves. Here is the modified version of the rhymes that they could play with it later in the future:
Five little transports sitting on a road,
The first car said, "Let's go by wheels."
The second bus said, "Let's beep, beep, beep!"
The third truck said, "It's time to load,"
The fourth bike said, "Let's vroom, vroom, vroom."
The fifth van said, "Let's go!"
We shall find a time to have this practise and act it as our stage performance for the theme of transportation.

After the discussion we had yesterday, I decided that the children could work on the noticeboard today. Therefore, I quickly get the task delegated before we all moved outside. Some of the children would work on pasting the water, land and the sky, while some would work on drawing and cutting some clouds, road and railway etc.
For those who had completed their initial task, they could help out the other groups of children before I allowed them to start to draw pictures of transportation on the noticeboard.
We only managed to complete parts of the noticeboard and we shall continue with it on next Monday.
