Lap booking class term 2 lesson 3

Today we did

1. Sang Good Afternoon, Bunny Bunny hop hop hop songs

2. Teacher Shirley introduced the song Can you make a big rabbit

Can you make a big rabbit?

With 2 ears so very long

And let him hop and hop with legs so short and strong

He nibbles, nibbles carrot

For his dinner everyday

When he has had had enough, he scramper far away

3. Teaching Shirley read Run Away Bunny very quickly

4. Teacher Shirley gave out pictures of fish, fisherman, crocus, gardener, sailboat, wind, bird, tree, rock, mountain climber, flying trapeze, tight rope walker, boy, mummy holding boy to let tots narrate the Run Away Bunny story by pasting the pictures in the sequence of the events in the book. Parents had to help the tot do this sequencing activity by narrating 1 part of the event and tots paste the picture of the other part of the event, eg if the bunny is a fish, what will the mummy bunny become? A fisherman. Teacher Shirley said this sequencing activity trains the child's memory and concentration span. Narrating the story helps build language foundation as the child needs to use meaningful words to express and describe the sequence of the story. This activity also develop self confidence
Png Png refused to do this activity with me but did it when Teacher Shirley guided him.
5. Teacher Shirley gave out a series of 4 rabbit picture. 1st one with side view, 2nd one with front view, 3rd one with side view, 4th one with front view. Parents had to help tot pick the correct picture for the 5th picture. This is a pre maths activity. I told Png Png 1st bunny look at Teacher Shirley, then look at him, then look at Teacher Shirley, then look at him, so who will the bunny look at next. He couldn't get it. Teacher Shirley used Png Png and Chen Chen to represent the rabbits. Png Png still can't get it. She asked me to practise with Png Png at home using apples and oranges. I did it but Png Png played with the fruits instead of the concept of the pattern.

6. Before we sang Good Bye song, Png Png was singing Bunny Bunny hop hop hop song. Teacher Shirley heard him and guided the whole class to sing and action along with Png Png. Png Png was very happy

7. Sang Good Bye song
