This week the children have been enjoying some new loose parts materials in the home corner 🪵🪨🧱 They have been inventing recipes using the resources available, helping to develop creative skills by encouraging use of imagination and experimenting freely.
Some of the children also enjoyed creating ‘puffy’ paint monsters 😈

All children were provided with the opportunity to participate in two STEM experiments this week 🧪 We discussed the autumnal changes that is currently taking place, including the changes in leaves as well as the changes in weather. The children explored a wind tunnel experiment and a rain cloud experiment and enjoyed the process 🔬
We have also been exploring ICT this week and using the iPad to explore online activities beneficial to children’s learning 💻

Outdoors this week the children have been discussing the changes between day and night ☀️ 🌚 As the clocks changed last week, we have been discussing the time sequences that take place throughout the day and events that we link to our wider world 🌎
Some children have been exploring our outdoor water tray where they have been measuring using funnels to create Dragons brew 🐉 This encourages development of imaginative skills through story telling and role play.
