Things That Go Vroom…

This week in the Active Learning Zone we have been learning about things that go and what makes them go. We started with a mind map of the things we knew about moving and what makes them move.

On the Science table we have been investigating lots of toys that move. We have the BeeBots, the remote control cars and toy cars. We have talked about the things that make them move eg. batteries and chargers which need electricity.

We have had lots of opportunities to find out about things that go and how they go through lots of activities. At the art table we have been painting a truck.

We designed a road for our cars and garage and lots of us helped and added to it.

At the Promethean Board we have been thinking about what things need to go. We have been drawing lines to match up the car with petrol, the hair dryer with electricity and the remote control cars with batteries.

At the playdough table it has been invaded by trucks and lots of rocks! We have been creating a bit of a construction site.

Last but not least we have been answering some blooms thinking questions. We had some super answers and have great knowledge about things that go and how they go. We are going to continue to explore things that go more in the Active Learning Zone.
