Spider Art Work (part III)

With the same steps as yesterday, most of the children managed to complete their art work today.

Then, the children happily played with their spider. Some of them make their spider crawl around their friends’ body, some of them make their spider crawl around the table and while some make their spider crawl around the classrooms.

Happily playing with their spider

I got something else to show them today. Teacher Cheah helped me to buy a bamboo charcoal bread from the night market yesterday. Before I showed it to the children, I get them to brainstorm anything food that they had came across which is black in colour.

Teacher: Had you tried eating any food that is black in colour?

Kwan Ming: Eel.

Yee Jie: Catfish.

Ei Jay: Tire. (I reminded him that we are talking about food.)

Emerson: Coca-cola. (He said that with a grin on his face.)

Yee Jie: Dark chocolate.

Jiun Jie: Yes, chocolate.

Kwan Ming: Black berries.

Teacher: What’s the colour of the bread that you usually eat?

Kwan Ming: Brown.

Zhen Yuan: White.

(Most of the children said either white or brown.)

Then I brought in the bamboo charcoal bread. The children eyes gone big and said the bread is black. I asked if they would dare to try. Most of the children were eager to say that they wanted to try except for one who immediately said no.

Once everyone had washed their hand, they had a share of the bamboo charcoal bread that I divided quarterly for them and they even asked for second round. The children commented that it tasted a little sweet but not too sweet. They even said they would like to have some more. 

Teng Hong: Hmm, nice...not so sweet!

Zhen Cheng: Yummy!

Wei Yee: Look, I'm eating a black bread!
