Morning Starters: Summer 1 - Teamwork
Did You Know?
In an incredible feat of strength and problem solving, tiny clownfish have been filmed working together to move large objects across the sea floor. When two saddleback clownfish find a small coconut shell, they work together to move it to a safe location, where it can be used as a nursery for their young. This cooperation allows them to create a stable and safe environment for their eggs.
Word Challenge
Create a word cloud of words connected to the word ‘teamwork’.
Note: The more important the word, the bigger and bolder it must be.
Grammar Challenge
Rewrite the following sentence, using different adjectives to those underlined.
The colourful clownfish nudged the weathered coconut shell across the sandy sea floor.
Number Challenge
Fact: There are 28 species of clownfish living in the warm waters of the Indian and the Pacific oceans.
The number 28 is a perfect number. A perfect number is a number that equals the sum of its factors (excluding itself).
1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28
Are there any other perfect numbers that are smaller than 28?
