The Great Wall of China - Emperor Qin

Hello everyone,

The Great Wall of China was built on Emperor Qin's orders. He was the first Emperor of China and became an Emperor at a very young age. He built the the Great Wall of China across six states to stop the nomads from the North of China to come to the South without permission.

Here is a video that I showed the children. Once they were done then they worked in small groups to make a poster of what they've learnt over this two days lesson on the Great Wall of China.

The Great Wall of China

Hello everyone,

Today the children had a experience on the Great Wall of China and the history of it's place on why it was built and how long it took. I had to show the children the world map in order for them to know where China is and where Malaysia is. It was an eye opener to the children in how things are in different place.

The children were introduced to China from a child's perspective and they were able to recall what details were shared on the video. After that they were asked to build their own Great Wall of China using the blocks given to them in class and this is what they did.

 

Tomorrow they would learn about the Emperor Qin who was the reason they build the Great Wall of China. 

See you tomorrow.

Thank you,

The children have been practicing for weeks on their performances to presented to their parents. The parents were very much impressed with the children's performances and with the children serving their parents breakfast that morning.

Here are a few pictures below of the taken during lesson.

Start of Practicum

Hello everyone,

This week I've started on my practicum in an awesome school with awesome teachers and children. The environment is so welcoming and yet safe that I wouldn't mind hanging out there all day.
It just only a few days that I've been there but it feels like I've gotten the know everyone better.

The school encourages children to speak up, make mistake and learn from them which I truly believe that is how children would learn. I can't wait to go back tomorrow to see the children and learn.

Thank you,
Abigail
