Hippopotamus

The music teacher played another part of the "Sound of Music" for the children to watch today.

I get the children to share their thoughts about hippopotamus:

Germaine: The hippo will be in the water and very fat.
Alice: The hippo mouth is very big.
Umeko: Hippo likes water.
Germaine: Hippo's eyes are very small.
Umeko: Hippo's body is light purple.
Jie Min: Hippo stay alone.
Dexter: Hippo can smell good.
Yun Han: Hippo lives in Africa.
Germaine: Hippo's skin is light purple, and some is grey.
Alice: Hippo is grey in colour.
Umeko: Hippo stays in a group.
Jie Min: The outer part of the eyes are pink.
Germaine: Hippo's teeth are not sharp.

Then, I played them a video to see if their thoughts are correct.
