These were some of the facts mentioned during the lessons:
a) Mammals
- give birth to live young
- warm-blooded
- nurse their young with milk
- have hair or fur
example: lion, tiger, elephant
b) Reptiles
- usually lay egg, very few give birth to live young
- cold-blooded
- have scales on their body

Voting for a new topic
Date: 11th May 2015
Day: Monday
Time: 4:30-5:30pm
Class: Pomegranate
Theme: I Love Zoo Animals
Teacher: Teacher Yeong
Voting for a new topic
There would be a field trip visiting the National Zoo. The children agreed to change their thematic topic to zoo animals. It would be a short topic and hopefully the children would enjoy it too.
Since the children agreed to change, we need to vote for a new name for our topic. Therefore, some suggestions were given and the children could only vote once. Finally, most of the children voted "I Love Zoo Animals".
The children shared about what animals that they want to see or learn from the zoo.
Teacher: If you go to the zoo, what animals that you would like to visit or learn?
Leow Xun: ape, gorilla
Zi Yue: rabbit
Lucas: fish
Aiden: ostrich
Sueanne: giraffe
Yi Ern: snake
Chloe: tiger
Qiao Yi: horse
Xiang Qin: elephant
Xin Yee: giraffe
Jing Heng: lion
Devon: crocodile
Besides that, the children also mentioned about tortoise, bear, penguin, frog, panda, leopard, monkey and cow.

Mother's Day Card
Date: 8th May 2015
Day: Friday
Time: 4:30-5:30pm
Class: Pomegranate
Theme: Occupations
Teacher: Teacher Yeong
Mother's Day Card
Today, the children continued with the making of the Mother's Day card. After the children had coloured their heart shape origami, they decorated it with some scrape colour papers that I gave them. Then, they pasted their heart onto the colour paper that I had prepared for each of them.
I placed "Mom", "Happy", "Mother's", "Day" in four different bowls. The children needed to collect each word from each bowl and arranged it accordingly. Most of them could do it individually while some needed some guidance and corrections. However, all of them managed to complete the task for the day. They were quite happy with it and wanted to give a surprise to their mother.
Here were some of the pictures taken for the activity:
Happy Mother's Day to all wonderful and lovely mom!

Heart Origami
This coming Sunday is Mother's Day. Today, I demonstrated a very simple heart shape origami for the children to follow. Most of them could get the folding done well. I'm surprised. They have grown up so much compare to last year.
Then, once they have done with most of the folding, I helped them to glue some parts of their heart shape and get them to colour their heart in colourful colour. All of them could manage to complete this task today. We shall continue with the rest of the card making tomorrow.

Why should we keep our nails clean?

Why should we keep our nails clean?
Yesterday, I had played a video on manicure. The children learn some words from there as well such as manicure, nails, massage etc. By using this opportunity, I bring in the sub-topic on nails hygiene. Hopefully, the children could see the important of keeping their nails clean.
Teacher: If we don't trim our nails, will our nails grow? [some said yes while some said no]
(Then, I draw them a picture of a hand with long finger nails, then the children understand what does grow means.)
Children: Ee, it looks like a monster.
Children: It looks like a lion hand.
Teacher: We need to trim our nails so that it won't look like a monster.
Children: Long finger nails will make me painful.
Teacher: Yes, long finger nails are sharp. You will get hurt.
Children: Long nails got germs.
Teacher: Yes, besides washing your palm and finger, you need to wash your nails as well.
When I asked the children to observe their finger nails, most of them said they have short nails, not long like the one I drew on the board.

Manicure
Date: 5th May 2015
Day: Tuesday
Time: 4:30-5:30pm

Theme: Occupations
Teacher: Teacher Yeong
Manicure
I modified some of the actions for the "Song of the Sea" so that the children could do it more smoothly. We practiced it with the action and song together today. The children were quite satisfied with their own performance.
Then, I guided the children to think of any occupations that are related to the sea. After giving some hints, they managed to say out - fisherman. Then, from there, I also mentioned about fishmonger. Hopefully the children could link the connection between these two occupations.
We carried on with our lesson from last week which we were talking about beautician. Therefore, today, I played them a video about a beautician who is demonstrating how to do manicure.
Video: how to give a perfect salon manincure
From the video itself, the children get to know about their nails. To look at their finger nails closely.

Action for the song

Action for the song
Today, we started our lesson by reading the passages from the 1000 sentences. We read the following passages:
1) Making Friends
2) In the Home
Then, we read through the lyrics for "Song of the Sea" and the children discussed about the action to add into the song. We did that twice and the children could actually try to relate it with the music. However, the children were not quite familiar with the lyrics, therefore, they somehow will not sure what's the next action. If the children like the song and the action, we might be able to practise and do it for our year end performance. Yet, it's still too early to decide what programme we shall come out with.
