Earth Day on 22nd April
Next Wednesday, it's Earth Day. The school will organise a trip to the recycling centre to teach the children about loving the Earth.
Therefore, today, we went through some basic information about why we needed to plant trees and the important of growing trees on earth.
Teacher: Why do we need to plant trees?
Children: So no flood.
Teacher: How can the trees help to prevent flood?
Children: Don't know....we learn it in our Mandarin class in the morning....
So I have to explain the usage of a tree and how a tree grows. I find it this year, the children managed to share more information compare to them when they were five years old. I guess they are more mature this year with this topic which we always brought it around April.
Besides Earth Day, 23rd April is the World Book Day. This time, I suggested that we also do a book. It can either be a big book or a small book. The children wanted a big book instead of a small one. I suggested that we use our theme to do a big book of it. They agreed.
After a round of voting, the children decided that this would be their title - The Occupations that I Learned.
Then, we summarized the occupations that we had done so far. After some consideration, I listed about 6 of them for the children to work on it - doctor, fire fighter, chef, teacher, veterinarian and clothes designer. The children group themselves in 6 groups and draw lots.
Next week, we shall work on our big book project.

Review of the role play and discuss

Review of the role play and discuss
The children were not very co-operative today. Therefore, I cancelled their 2nd round of role play session today.
We did some reading and we had a reviewed of the role play the children had yesterday.
From the role play session yesterday, I noticed that the chef will serve food instead of the waiter or waitress. Besides that, there's no role for a cashier when one of the children asked where he should pay his money.
Therefore, we did some adjustment on the role. I added in a cashier and reminded the children that a waiter or waitress have to get the food from the chef and served it to the customers. Chef will stay in the kitchen all the time.

Role Play - In a restaurant
Date: 14th April 2015
Day: Tuesday
Time: 4:30-5:30pm
Class: Pomegranate
Theme: Occupations
Teacher: Teacher Yeong
Role Play - In a restaurant
A chef usually works in a restaurant. Therefore, we set our role play today as in a restaurant instead of just in the kitchen.
Before we start, we delegate some roles for the children to choose from. These were some of the roles for the children to pick:-
- chef ( 3 person)
- waiter/waitress (3 person)
- customers (10 person)
Note: some were absent during the role play session. As a result, there's only about 16 of them today.
These three groups of children will take their turns to become different role in the restaurant. It's kind of messy for the first time as some of them don't know how to serve while some don't know what to do. Anyhow, it's a good experience. We shall try the role play session again this week.

Revision on the things we learned from "Chef"

Revision on the things we learned from "Chef"
From the movie, the children understand that a chef works in a restaurant. Besides cooking, the chef also needs to guide his staff and workers to work peacefully and harmony in the kitchen.
Then, the children mentioned about few vocabulary for chef - chef, food truck, restaurant
I asked the children if they know what a menu is. They said no. Then, I reminded the children to flash back the picture of the food truck. There was a blackboard on the truck itself where Carl will write down the menu for the day. Then, suddenly, the children realized the usage of the blackboard on the truck.
From here, I get the children to name me food that they thing they could put it on a menu. Some said, fried chicken, while some said spaghetti.
We might carry out the role play for chef tomorrow if the time permits.

Movie - Chef (part IV)
Today, we finished off the last 10 minutes of the movie.
Carl brought Percy back to his ex-wife place and told Percy that he needed to go back to school. After some consideration, Carl agreed that Percy could help out at the food truck during weekends or school holiday. Ramsey Michel came to try his food and he loves it. He offered Carl to work at a restaurant belongs to him and he could cook whatever food that he enjoyed. Carl took up the offer and after 6 months, he also patched up with ex-wife and he is quite successful in his career.
After that movie, I get the children to share their thoughts or their favourite part of the movie that they like:-
Chloe: When they get together. Carl Casper cooked the food looks delicious.
Jing Heng: I like the food truck because he buys the things to move it inside the food truck. A lot of customers come.
Zi Yue: I like the food truck because he writes on the blackboard. Everybody can see.
Yee Shuen: I like the bread. It looks delicious.
Aiden: When they get together. I'm happy for them.
Zhi Yi: I like the food truck. The food is yummy.
Li Chiuan: I like the food because the food is very delicious. The food truck looks nice. They washed the food truck.

Movie- Chef (part III)
Date: 9th April 2015
Day: Thursday
Time: 4:30-5:30pm

Theme: Occupations
Teacher: Teacher Yeong
Movie- Chef (part III)
Today, we continued for another 25 minutes of the movie.
Chef Carl had got the food truck cleaned up together with his son, Percy. After they went shopping for all the tools and utensils that they needed for the food truck, they find it difficult to move into the food truck by them. Fortunately, Marvin (Carl's colleague at the previous restaurant) came to lend them a hand. He managed to get help from those Spanish workers to lend a hand on those heavy kitchen equipment into the food truck. There, they promised to cook some delicious Cuban sandwich for the crowd. An incident happened when Percy burnt the sandwich and given a comment that it's free for the crowd, it doesn't matter.
Carl took Percy to the side to explain to him about respect on food and his dream career as a chef. Then, Percy changed his attitude towards cooking and enjoyed it. They traveled from place to place to set up their food truck while picking up fresh ingredients along the way.
This gives the children an idea about being a chef as not just good at cooking, he or she needed to learn about food. A chef needs to be hardworking and enjoying himself or herself in the kitchen.
