This week my class started a new unite which is food, so I did several activities with the children related to the food theme.
During the outside time I asked the students to play with mud and try to make different types of food. the children were happy and having fun. Most of the girls were engaged while some boys were playing with the mud and not creating food. I tried to make them make different things than each other because most of them were copying each other work so I told them that this will be competition, who will make a healthy food. Then they started making fruits and vegetables and the activity went well.

I'm sure that this made a mess, but I like the way you change the approach, so that you can encourage the boys to fulfill the task - good example of reflection in action - well done
