Underwater World

Welcome back for year 2014. We have a quite some new children this year for 5 years old.

For the first topic of our English thematic class, I chose “underwater world” for the children to begin with. Hopefully the children could enjoy the lesson.

We started off with a brainstorming session about things the children know about a fish.

Then we went through the sea creatures such as octopus, prawn, lobster, shark, whales, dolphin, crab etc.

We also went through the parts of the fish. I get the children to paste the vocabulary with the parts as one of the activities.

Book sharing – Bubble bubble

With this interesting and noisy book, the children followed the little fish to search for the sea creature which blow bubbles. Then we did a palm printing art work for this. 

We also went through the facts about a fish

The facts about a fish are as followed:

•       Fish can swim.
•       Fish lives in the water. 
•       Fish breathe underwater using gills and not lungs.
•       Fish have scales and fins. (no hair or fur) 
•       Fish lay MANY eggs.
•       Fish is cold-blooded.

After that, we had a drawing session on fish. By using simple shapes, I guided the children to draw a fish and they decorated their pictures later on.
