Last week we had a lot of fun in the nursery garden exploring various forms of water play. At our water wall we had to problem solve how to get the water into the bottles and what path the water would take as it flowed from one bottle to the next. We discovered that by pouring the water into the flower pots it looked like it was raining. Many skills were used in this area: problem solving, exploration, team work, fine motor skills, language and early numeracy. Our other form of water play was basic, a bucket of coloured water and some paint brushes and rollers. Much fun was had washing windows, cleaning cogs, painting pictures. The children were very imaginative in their play and spent lots of time engaged in play. Who knew water could be such fun!!!!
