Time: 4:30-5:30pm
Class: Starfruit
Theme: Colours
Teacher: Teacher Yeong
Yellow,
Yellow, Yellow
Today, we moved in to the
colour of yellow. We had a brainstorming session before we start anything else.
I get the children to take turns telling me if they know the name of things
that is yellow in colour. The children were great that they could name me
things like banana, lemon, yellow watermelon, mango, moon, star etc.
Poem
– Yellow, Yellow Happy Fellow by Jean Warren
Yellow,
yellow happy fellow,
Running
through the town,.
Yellow,
yellow happy fellow,
Jumping
up and down.
While reciting this poem, I
got everyone to stand up to combine it with action. After a few round, some of
them can even recite without my help. What a great fun with action to help them
to remember it much better.
Song
– Bright Yellow Sun (sang in the tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
Bright
sun shinning down,
Shinning
on the ground,
What
a lovely face you have,
Yellow,
big and round
While singing the song, I
asked the children to imagine about looking at the sun!
Book
Sharing – Colours
I had shared this book with
the children at the beginning of the theme. But today we only focused on yellow
colour.
Xuan seems having fun with this! She asked me, mama, water melon got yellow one meh? I told her yes, but she still doubted that. I'll find one day and show her yellow water melon :)
回复删除Haha, yes some of them doubt about their friend's answer and said :" Teacher Yeong, they have nothing to say so they simply say" ( they gave me this comment in Mandarin!
