SNOW!
Dear children,
During this season of winter, there is snowing which occurs in some countries like Europe and America. This is because these countries experience the 4 seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. There is no snow in Singapore because Singapore does not have 4 seasons. It has a hot weather almost the whole year, except in December, in which there will be lots of rain.
Here are some fun websites in which you can make snow flakes, learn about how snow comes about, stories about snow and many other fun activities:
http://snowflakes.barkleyus.com
http://webtech.kennesaw.edu/jcheek3/snow.htm
Below is a video in which you can see how snow can bring about accidents on the road. This is because snow makes the road slippery and will cause the drivers to lose control of their cars easily.
Here is a cartoon on snow for all of you to enjoy. Happy holidays!
If you want to experience snow in Singapore, probably you can ask your parents to bring you to Snow City in Jurong East. You can have a feel of how snow is like over there and play with the snow.

Sand Painting
Dear children,
Have any of you seen sand painting before? Sand painting is a form of art in which you can pour sand onto a surface to make a painting. The sand can come in different colours too.
In this video shown below, you can see the person using her fingers to create different types of pictures just by moving the sand around. Have fun watching it!

Hooves
Dear children,
We learnt about hooves in our big book, 'Whose hooves?'. Here are some interesting questions and answers about hooves:
Q) What are hooves of a horse made of?
A) Hooves are made of material similar to the human fingernail. However it is much thicker and much stronger.
Q) Why do cows have hooves?
A) Hooves are like shoes for them. They need a hard support for their feet as they walk on hard, muddy and rough surfaces.
Here are some videos on them:

Our class writing - A birthday party
Today our class had a wonderful birthday party in our classroom. We decorated our class whiteboard with colourful balloons. Some were big while some were small. Then we wore our party hats. Our teacher, Miss Lee, bought two pandan cakes and put them on a table. She put two candles on the cake and lighted the candles. Shashank, Quan Kai and Shameera came up to the front. We sang the birthday song for them loudly. They blew out the candles with one big puff. Miss Lee gave them each a birthday card. She cut the cake into many slices and we ate the cakes happily. We also ate the snacks that we had brought. It was an exciting party. We enjoyed ourselves and we were as happy as a lark.

Interesting facts about frogs
Do frogs have teeth?
Actually, yes! But not like in this silly picture!
Most frogs do in fact have teeth of a sort.
They have a ridge of very small cone teeth around the upper edge of the jaw. These are called Maxillary Teeth.
Frogs often also have what are called Vomerine Teeth on the roof of their mouth.
They don't have anything that could be called teeth on their lower jaw, so they usually swallow their food whole. The so-called "teeth" are mainly used to hold the prey and keep it in place till they can get a good grip on it and squash their eyeballs down to swallow their meal.
Toads, however, do NOT have any teeth.
Can frogs hear?
Frogs can hear using big round ears on the sides of their head called a tympanum. Tympanum means drum. On some frogs, the ear is very hard to see!
Ever wonder how frogs that can get so LOUD manage not to hurt their own ears? Some frogs make so much noise that they can be heard for miles! How do they keep from blowing out their own eardrums?
Well, actually, frogs have special ears that are connected to their lungs. When they hear noises, not only does the eardrum vibrate, but the lung does too! Scientists think that this special pressure system is what keeps frogs from hurting themselves with their noisy calls!

The Remarkable Fidgety River
Dear children,
Here is a cartoon on how Doctor Snuggles is warning us that the Earth is running out of water. The distressed river is hiding and rolled up like a carpet. The Doctor discovers someone has been stealing big "blocks" of ocean water and sets out to find them back. There are 5 parts to this cartoon. Enjoy it!

Video clip on bats
Dear children,
In the STAR EL lessons last week, we learned about the pronounciation of the word "bat" in the book 'The Fat Cat'. In this book, we learned how to pronounce the 'a' sound (which sounds like the word 'air').
Some of you may not know what bats are and may not have seen them before. I have put up a Youtube link on bats here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sisyq6N7mMw. I am unable to place the video directly into the class blog as there are some problems.
Do watch the video!
Here are some websites in which you can learn more about bats:

You can also ask your parents to help you in making a bat mask! The instructions are given in this website: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/kids/craft_batmask.html
