SHARED READING DAISY'S BIG HEART WEEK 2 (22.5.2025)

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone!

I’m back to share our Week 2 session. We’re still using the same big book.

When I asked the children about the characters in the book, they seemed a bit lost. Maybe they only remember how to jump into the box! 😄

But that’s okay — now is a great time to meet the characters properly.

In the first part of the story, we have Daisy as the hero, and she meets Kitty, right? So today, we’re going to get to know them by sticking their faces on popsicle sticks!

What You’ll Need:

Printed pictures of Daisy and Kitty

1. 1 popsicle stick per child
2. Glue (white craft glue works best, but any glue will do!)
3. Googly eyes (optional, but fun!)

Each child gets one popsicle stick and a picture of Daisy and Kitty. If you have plenty of time, you can ask them to cut the pictures themselves. But since we only have 30 minutes, I pre-cut everything for them.

For added fun, give them googly eyes to stick onto the characters’ faces. It really brings them to life!

Role-Play Time!

Now the challenge begins! The teacher will call 3 children to the front:

One will be the reader
One will be Daisy
One will be Kitty

They’ll read their lines from the big book. Don’t forget to record them! It’s totally fine if they still need help reading.

You can also add some fun action lines like this:

From the book: “Jump on the box!”

Add-on: “Go Kitty! Jump, jump! Don’t be scared. Kitty! Kitty! Jump! Jump!”

@kembarabijak SHARED READING ACTIVITY This week, we continued reading Daisy’s Big Heart, a story by Cikgu Ana. Last week, we were busy jumping on the box just like Kitty! But today… we forgot who the main characters in the story were! So, we made puppets of two characters: Daisy the Duck and Kitty the Cat. We attached the cat and duck to ice cream sticks using glue. We also learned that "glue" is the English word for gam (Malay). We learned to share the glue and take turns After that, we wrote the names of the cat and duck on the ice cream sticks, so we won’t forget them next week! Lastly, we acted out scenes from the story. We only managed to do a few pages. Kitty got stuck in a tree. Daisy found a box and asked Kitty to jump. Kitty jumped down. Alhamdulillah! “Jazakillahu khair, Daisy,” said Kitty. To be continued next week, in shaa Allah! #sharedreading #tadikajitra2025 #jitradihatiku #bestausekolahkami #selamatdatangketadikakembarabijak #TadikaKembaraBijak ♬ Creative Ideas - Dante The Kiddo

Why Only Daisy & Kitty?

With 12 children, 30 minutes goes by very fast. So we split them into 4 rounds — that’s why we focused only on Daisy and Kitty this week.

By the end of the session, insya-Allah, they’ll remember those two cute little animals.
