Sharing
session about white colour
In the storybook, “You are my
Best Friend” described white colour as cold as the snow, yet it also taste as sweet
as white cotton candy. Besides that, white is also as light as those clouds
that appears in the sky.
I got the children to think
and imagine how they feel about the white colour.
Kwan Ming: Very cold.
Teacher: Like the snow? (He
nodded.)
Zhen Yu: Tofu.
Ei Jay: White T-shirt.
Teacher: Try to imagine with
feelings. How does white looks like?
Emerson: Cotton candy (he
said that in Mandarin.)
Teacher: How does it taste?
Emerson: Sour. (Ah?? Are you sure is not sweet?)
Emerson: Oh, not sour. Sweet.
Teacher: Imagine that our
classrooms are filled with white and no other colours. How you feel? (I believe
the children still trying very hard to imagine that)
Kern Ee: Sugar….sour…ar,
no…sweet
Yee Jie: Cold….like
ice-cream.
Kwan Ming: Smoke…very smelly.
(I think he is talking about haze)
Wen Xuan: Like clouds.
I had a 30 minutes video
about “The Snowman” for the children to watch. Yet the discussion took us quite
some time. As a result, we can only arrange to watch it tomorrow.
Ar?? Wen Xuan mentioned "clouds" in english???
回复删除Yes, she did. As this time, I showed them some pictures of things in white. It actually helps the children to relate the words with the pictures better. So I think this time she could actually share more with her fellow classmates. This can be seen in her drawings.
回复删除Wow, that's amazing! Xuan's vocabulary improved! :D
回复删除Motivate her more and I believe that she can learn ver fast!
