On Monday, I taught on the vocabulary 'mountain' and so was just telling my children today that there are no mountains in Singapore. However, we do have a hill.
Soowei: "So does anyone knows if Singapore has a hill?"
All children smiled and agreed with glee.
Soowei: "So can someone tell me whats the name of that hill?"
A bunch of them shouted: "Redhill!!!!"
YES! At that current moment Soowei nearly fainted at the level of general knowledge my kids have. But its really hilarious LAH! Haa... Redhill? A Hill? To an extent yes but...So when I burst out laughing and disagreed with the kids a few of them went, "不对meh? 红山mah! 不是山meh?" I continued laughing and the kids laughed too. What a teaching moment! :)
By the way, if you do not have any idea how Redhill has its name? Click on the link.
Here are some nice comic graphics for the teaching of this story without the storyline. It would be lovely for the kids to come up with their own story. *wink.
