Blue, what is blue?

Today, we started our theme colour on “blue”. Before we moved in to any activities, we had a brainstorming session about what the children know about blue.

I got the children to think for a while and then take turns to say anything that is blue in colour. These are their answers:

Yee Jie: shirt, paper, clock, fish, hat

Xin Yi: (she actually mentioned those other children had said)

Wei Yee: car, shoes

Teng Hong: dolphin

Wen Xuan: table, book, toy, snake, peacock

Qi Jie: chair, shark

Emerson: scissors, fan, jellyfish

LI Heng: water, tissue

Bo En: house

Jiun Jie: blueberries

The children said that the sea is blue. Therefore, I got them each a piece of paper and asked them to draw the underwater world. The children excitedly said they were drawing fish, dolphin, whale, shark, octopus, jellyfish and etc.
