Operation Imaginary Creature

Yesterday, the children were tasked with creating an imaginary creature together as a group.

Before the school closed last term, we had brainstormed together as a class the features of various animals.

This term, the children have to create an imaginary creature based on their choice of habitats, diets, movements. The creature's characteristics and features have to qualify the criteria given to them.

These are our children at work: lots of discussion, brainstorming, exchange of ideas, compromising, negotiation, and above all, cooperation and the willingness to listen to one another's ideas.

Impressive!

A presentation of their imaginary creatures


We had a mini voting session and Turtue - the turtle with trees on its shell, the creation of Group 2 (Zun Hong, Kar Moon, Keng Yee and Jeeva), raked in the most number of votes. Jeeva the presenter would have to take some credit for describing the creature vividly during his presentation.

One of these imaginary creatures will be selected to 'materialise' in three-dimensional form.

Stay tune!
