::: chopstick fun
We read a book to the children called “Cleversticks” which talks about valuing each child for what they can do instead of focusing on what they cannot do. In the end they all help each other with their respective skills.
The main little boy used chopsticks to eat with, which led to a discussion about the different ways we eat our food and how it differs depending on what we are are eating and where.
Some children said they used chopsticks but with the little spring in them, which helps them a lot. They thought they would like to give normal chopsticks a try so we put out regular chopsticks with cottonwool balls so the children could practise transferring them from one bowl to another.
We have to say that most did very well …
while others …
still need a little practice!
