If you are thinking of watching a movie or renting a DVD to watch at home, how about Masagascar?

(Tips: Eng Wah cinema is offering $6 ticket to children. Make sure you bring your student pass when buying it. Otherwise, OCBC credit card will allow you to buy the second adult ticket at half-price if you buy a popcorn combo (worth $7.50) together with the tickets.)

Or if you have watched it, how about do some activities on this movie?

Write what you think the animals are doing, how are they feeling, what do they want to do after that, who is saying what (use speech bubbles) etc.
