Lap booking class term 1 lesson 2

Lesson for today and subsequent weeks are conducted in Teacher Shirley's house. She will rent a place in Goldhill Center for future lessons. Boy, I forsee the fee going skyhigh

Today we did
1. Sang Good Afternoon song
2. Teacher Shirley read the book Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you hear
3. Teacher Shirley asked tots to name the sequence of the animals featured in the book
4. Teacher Shirley talked about flamingo and leopard

Why flamingo has long neck and long legs Long legs so that it will not wet it's legs and butt when standing in the water. Long neck so that it can bend down to drink water and catch prey. What does flamingo eat? Algae, sea snails, shrimp. What is the color of flamingo? Pink, some has red feather at the bottom of their butt


I checked in google, flamingo is actually white or grey in color. The shrimp they eat turns their feathers pink


Leopard in the book has different shades of colors. Yellow in the center and orange at the 2 ends. It looks similar to cheetah with spots on the body. But leopard has ROSETTE on the back, ie few spots to form a flower pattern. Jaguar also has rosette but it has a black spot in the center of the rosette and rosette on Jaguar's skin is bigger than that of leopard


5. Tots had to name the parts of polar bear. 5 small stickers were given to parents to write and paste the parts tots named. Png Png only named eye then loose his concentration
6. Each tot was given a cut out of a leopard picture. Tots had to paint the leopard with a paint brush. Png Png enjoyed painting the leopard
7. Teacher Shirley gave out small cut out pictures of 6 types of bears (black bear, brown bear, polar bear, panda bear, sun bear and sloth bear) and the corresponding words for tots to match the picture against the words. I can't get Png Png to do it at all
8. Sang and action rhyme 3 brown bears
Three brown bears
Three brown bears
See all their beds, see all their chairs
The mummy cook in a big brown pot
The daddy's porridge was much too hot
The baby bear always cry a lot
Three brown bears
Three brown bears
9. Sang good bye song
