Book Sharing & Drama
Today, Shyi Yee brought a book to share with the class - The Brave Little Penguin.
I also shared another book with them - Zoe the Zebra hurts her ankle.
Then, the children asked if they could play the drama again, I allowed them. The children quickly group themselves back into their groups and picked the character they want this time. I still narrated the story as it goes and they children enjoyed themselves very much.
The English thematic class shall ends here. I am glad that the children enjoyed my class and we had lots of laughter and fun together.

Sharing about Finding Dory (part II) & Drama
I was told that the children had gone through the story line during the Mandarin session in the morning. Therefore, I wanted the children to try to retell it in English.
Teacher: Which part of the movie that you like the best?
Alice: When Dory go to see her daddy, mommy.
Wei Xiang: I like when Dory go to look for Nemo and his daddy. (The part which is at the very beginning of the story)
Umeko: I like when Dory see the whale shark.
Germaine: The whale shark cannot see Dory clearly. It is so funny.
Jing Zhe: Octopus drives the truck.
Jun Yi: Octopus take the Nemo.
Germaine: The octopus passed out some ink and help Dory and Dory gave the tag.
Umeko: The part where the octopus wants to eat Nemo. It's so scary.
Wei Xiang: I like the part where the octopus pretend to be baby. It's so funny.
Shyi Yee: I like the part where the Pecky (the red eye bird) left Nemo and her dad on the tree.
Then, we moved on to another session for today's lesson - drama. There were about 18 children in the class today and we have about 6 different characters in the drama. As a result, I get them to group themselves into 3 groups of 6. Then, they have to discuss among themselves to pick a character - lion, monkey, zebra, elephant, crocodile and giraffe. Once they were done, I get them to just rehearse the lines for each character just in case some of them had forgotten what to say.
These were the list of the character picked for today's drama:
I narrated the story while the children come out accordingly. Some of them were pretty shy while some were quite good in acting out the characteristic of the character that they had picked.

Sharing about Finding Dory
The children arrived back to the school from the movie theater about 2pm today. Therefore, they quickly took their bath and lunch. As a result, the children had their nap until 4pm. I brought them out to run about before they had their snack time around 4:30pm.
We started our class around 5pm today. I wanted to get the children to talk about the movie, however, only 3 said that they understand the story while the rest just looked puzzle. I tried my best to mention some sea creatures in the movie with the hope that the children could recall the story line. Unfortunately, the children seem to look tired and puzzled about it as well.
Therefore, I called it a day. We shall talk about it on the next day with the hope that their class teacher could explain or even described it in Mandarin before I see them again in the afternoon.

Sorting Out the Worksheet
Our English thematic class for Durian class is coming to an end soon. After the Raya Aidilfitri holiday, they shall switch back to Bahasa Malaysia thematic class.
Therefore today, I needed the help of the children to sort out their worksheets so that we could discuss of the remaining activities that they wish to work on. The children helped me to sort out the worksheet by referring to the vocabulary list that I listed out in their class.
The children were going for a field trip to the movie theater tomorrow to watch - Finding Dory. According to the amended schedule, I might not be able to carry out much activity with the children except to talk about the movie with the children after the show.

Bear & Tiger Worksheet
I have shown the children a video about bears, yet, when I asked the children what does a bear eat, they couldn't really answer me. Some gave me honey, some gave me meat.
Therefore, I played them a video showing grizzly bear hunting for salmon fish at the river. The children were amazed to see how the fish jumped right into the mouth of the grizzly bear.

Then, I have prepared a worksheet of tiger for the children to work on it. The content of the worksheet is according to the video that they watched a few days ago.

Drama : Hungry Lion

Drama : Hungry Lion
The children had tried out the puppet show. I suggested that they could do a drama instead. The children remembered the stage performance of The Hungry Lion at the graduation ceremony by the Mix Class last year. They wanted to perform the same drama in the class.
As a result, I guided them to list out the character that we needed - lion, monkey, zebra, crocodile, elephant and giraffe. After that, I guided them to write out the dialogue needed for the drama. Surprisingly, the children remembered the lines said by those characters. Wow! I guessed it is because the dialogue is pretty easy to say.
Example:
Lion: I'm so hungry. (The lion is looking for food and found a zebra. It approached the zebra.)
Zebra: Stop! You cannot eat me. I'm too fast.
Giraffe: Stop! You cannot eat me. I'm too fierce.
The children will have to recall the characteristic of those animals and gave me the dialogue accordingly.
Once the children had read through the script, they select a character to act out in the drama and we did. The children had so much fun. We might be able to carry out the drama playing again if we have the time next week.

Puppet Show by the Children
After the demonstration and one of the group children had done on last Tuesday, I get the other group of children to play with the puppet show today.
However, before that, I played them a video about black bear and also replay the tiger video for those who were absent on last Tuesday.
Video: BLACK BEARS: Animals for children. Kids videos. Kindergarten | Preschool learning
After taking a short break, I get the group of children to get ready for the puppet show. They were very excited and wanted to start immediately. Once the children were in their position, I started to narrate the story of the "Three Little Pigs".
Here were some pictures taken:
After the puppet show, there were some 10 minutes left before we called it a day. The children wanted to play with the puppet that I made, therefore, I agreed to leave the puppet in their class so that they could continue playing with it.
