Cut up the Pumpkin

There were 2 pumpkins in front of us. The children observed the size and make some guesses about the numbers of seeds in both of the pumpkin.

These were the guesses for the smaller pumpkin:
Wei Xiang: 100
Germaine: 150
Jie Min: 200
Huey Teng & Alice: 400
Yun Han: 500

These were the guesses for the bigger pumpkin:
Jie Min: 22
Germaine: 30
Wei Xiang: 200
Yun Han: 100 million
Alice: 500
Huey Teng: 300

After that, we moved down to the kitchen to cut up the smaller pumpkin. We shall keep the bigger pumpkin for another activity.

Then the children helped to clear all the pumpkin seeds into the bowl.

Once I got all the pumpkin clean up, I put them into a plate and let it dry under the sun. It might take some days to get it totally dry up.
