Today, the weather was stormy and the children of the Pre-kinder class were watching for lightning and listening for thunder when their English lesson started. They sat down, and sang and waved to the “Hello” song.
After saying hello, the children practiced saying “Here” when their name was called for their Sports Day race.
Next, the children sang a vegetable song. Aside from learning the names of vegetables, which they know well, it also practiced actions like “chop,” and “me” and “you.”
First, they watched and listened to the song as the instructor demonstrated the actions. They do enjoy a good chop.
After that, the children were encouraged to use their finger to point. Away for “you,”
and toward their chest for “me.”
They still like to use their name to refer to themselves, but they still had fun using “me” and “you.”
Once they had finished practicing “me” and “you,” and had sung a song about the weather, the children looked at shapes.
They were first shown shapes and said what they were: square, circle, triangle, diamond, heart, and star. They then sang the “Drawing Shapes” song, in which they try to make the shapes using their fingers.
It can be a bit difficult, but the children gave it a good attempt. Next, they were asked to match a shape to a template. First, the templates were placed in front of them.
After a demonstration, they were given a shape and asked what the shape was, and to match it to the template.
They did very well, and were excellent at naming tricky shapes like square and triangle.
To finish the lesson, the children sang the “ABC” song. This they know well and always enjoy singing it.
And with that, everyone waved and said goodbye.
Everyone did a great job today. They are getting more confident when speaking and had fun dancing and matching. Keep it up.
