Making Mosquito Repellent (I)

25 July

We played a game whereby we take turn to be mosquito. Using straws as the proboscis, we “fly” around trying to “sting” the human.

After the game, we shared ways we could do to prevent mosquito bites.

Children’s responses of what they could do to prevent mosquito bites.

We all agreed that mosquito repellent is an effective way to prevent mosquito bites. Thus, we wanted to make our own mosquito repellent. In order to do so, we need to find out what keeps the mosquito away.

We wanted to interview the staffs in our school to find out from them. So, we got into groups to discuss who to ask and what to ask.

Back in class, we shared with our friends the responses from the person we interviewed.
