Starfish

Today, we read some facts and information about starfish. The children were amazed to learn that some starfish has more than 5 arms such as the sun star.

After that, I brought in 3 boxes of different toys into the class. I also divided the children into 3 big groups. The children needed to make use of the toys they were given to form the shape of a starfish. This is not just to train their visual ability yet also to get them to work as a team.

Most of them were not discussing yet arguing with each other and couldn't cooperate with their peers. After 10 minutes, none of the group could actually form the shape of a starfish with their toys. I took some other toys from their class and form a simple one on the floor.

Immediately, there's a group of them stopped arguing and started to get everyone working in forming the shape of the starfish with the toys. I'm quite proud of them for being able to stop arguing and quickly got themselves up to complete the task given.

The other two groups who saw the complete task of the first group, they also quickly brought themselves up and quickly form the shape of the starfish with their toys.
