Yellow Colour

Today, we started with yellow colour. The children were very eager to share their thoughts about yellow colour.

Teacher: Name me things that are yellow in colour.
Shan Lin: paper, banana, colour pencil, table
Max: wall, star, lemon, chick
Yen Rou: sun, bag
Yi Rou: book, toy, T-shirt, plastic bag
Xiang Jing: fish
Haowen: minion
Gaby: rainbow, pants, ice-cream

After that, some of the children started to sing the "Bright Sun" song that I used to teach them when they were 4 years old. We have some new children in the class this year, therefore, I wrote the lyrics down on the board and we all sang once more.

Song: Bright Sun (Tune: Row, row, row your boat)
Bright sun shining down,
Shining on the ground,
What a lovely face you have,
Yellow big and round.

Teacher: Could you suggest an activity that we could use yellow.
Yi Rou: Lemon.
Teacher: What can do with lemon?
Max: Put water.
Teacher: Oh, you wanted to drink lemon juice. What's the taste of the lemon.
Yien: Sour.
Teacher: Yes, it's not sweet. How do we can make it taste sweet?
Yi Rou: We put honey.
Teacher: What if we don't have honey?
Yen Rou: Put salt.
Teacher: Salt taste salty, not sweet. (I gave them some hint by singing the song that we sang during "Red" colour - Roses are red. Then suddenly, some of the children shouted sugar!)

Children could bring a lemon to school on Monday if they could find one at home and it's not compulsory. We shall arrange a day to make some lemonade in this hot weather!
