Learning about "egg white" and "egg yolk"

In this activity, the children were introduced to the colours of egg white and egg yolk. This activity helps the children to develop fine motor skills as they used the plastic knife to cut the eggs into smaller pieces. It also helps to improve their language development. At the same time the children also learned to do things together to complete the task at hand.

Gerard Lew quietly deshelled the egg with his fingers and kept the pieces of eggshell inside the plate.


Jia Ling has nearly finished deshelling the egg while her friend, Aloysius Lee started to deshell the egg and explore its texture with his thumb and pointer finger.


Jian Wen and Gerard used the plastic knife to cut the egg into smaller pieces.
Gerard said: ”I can cut egg.” On the other hand, Jian Wen used his fingers to hold the egg and continued to cut the egg.


Aloysius, Jia Ling and Gerard used the plastic knife to cut the egg white and egg yolk into smaller pieces while Jian Wen looked at them. When asked by the teacher "What are you cutting?" The children said: “Egg, I like to eat.”


The three children continued slicing the egg into smaller pieces while Jian wen started eating his sliced egg. Jian Wen then said: “Yummy! Yummy!”
