Animation – The Snowman (Part II)

The children were still talking about “The Snowman” when I stepped into the class today. So I got them to share their favourite part of the story with their fellow classmates.

Kwan Ming: I like the animals. (What kind of animals?) Seal, polar bear, reindeer, sea lion, whale.

Yee Jie: The snowman and the animals.

Kern Ee: He make a snowball and throw it to the window. The snowman can walk. The snowman can fly. He wants to find his friends. He dance. The snowman walks in the house. He walks into the house. His friend showed him. They are having a party. The snowman is white.

Yu Xin: The boy helps the snowman to take off his clothes. Very funny. (She said this in Mandarin.)

Xin Yi: The snowman and the boy fly to the house.

Wen Xuan: Fox…(She was trying hard to explain and finally she told me in Mandarin that the snowman and the boy went into the woods and saw the animals) Penguin.

Zhen Yuan: The motorbike ran into the woods and go in the house. He stepped on the roller skate and the TV and the clothes.

Emerson: He went into the woods and he see the penguins.

Bo En: Motorbike….fly.

Phey Zheng: A ship. (He actually said pirate ship yet his classmates clarified that it’s just a ship)

Game: Choose the Correct Colour

I prepared some orange and white ping pong balls and 4 spoons. I placed some orange and white ping pong balls in a bowl. Then I divided the children into 4 groups where about 5 people in a group. After that, the first 2 group of children will have to pick the white colour ping pong ball with the spoon and pass it to the opposite group of children and vice versa.

Most of the children could recognized the correct coloured ping pong balls except for one or two who picked up the wrong colour.
