This week in the ECC, we have carried on with our Space theme due to the children’s interest in it. We know lots of facts about planets in our solar systems – try asking us about the sun, the moon, earth, and what space doesn’t have that makes us float and bounce about a lot! We tried real space food that the astronauts would eat and made our own planets with balloons and paper mache. We predicted what might happen in more experiments and evaluated our findings on last weeks “glowing eggs”. Connie reached our moon on Wednesday with her fantastic recall on what she had learned about Space.

Well done Connie !!!

Through the use of the SHANARRI indicators we have  introduced our new character “Healthy Hannah”  to the children. They have been sorting out healthy and unhealthy foods as well as using scales and spoons to measure out the sugar content in some of our drinks ! We know too much sugar isn’t good for our teeth and our bodies.

Whilst outdoors we were using our problem solving and prediction skills to investigate which balls would fit down which tubes according to their size and shape.

And just look at how high Harper can bounce on that trampoline!
