Whales

Today, we read about whales. Some of the children got it mix up with dolphins. I show them some pictures of the whales from the book that Yi Rou brought earlier.

Then, I read them a story - The Whales Song. This is a story about a whale who had wandered off from his own group. It went around asking for help from other sea creatures. However, none of them could sing like a whale. A Manatee came by and told him that he could find out his own song by trying to sing it out from his own voice. Finally, his group came back to look for him after hearing his call.

I brought in some blue paper and some white A4 paper for the children to do a whale origami. After they had folded a whale, they could paste it onto the white colour paper and decorated it with other sea creatures.

There were a few more children who couldn't get the origami done today, we shall continue with it tomorrow.
