During our sensory time, we tried out a new substance similar to Playdough. It was called Mad Matter!
We wanted to know the difference between Playdough and Mad Matter. We listened really carefully to the words (adjectives) each person used to describe the new substance. Here are some we came up with; sandy, soft, rough, smooth and crumbly. We noticed Mad Matter changes when the heat of your hands bring it all together!
Here we are using utensils to roll and squeeze the playdough into different shapes.
Mrs Bradford joined us and she managed to make some slugs using the Mad Matter 🙂
In nurture we tried out some High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) which meant the boys completed 45 seconds for each move then had a 15 second rest. See below for the moves if anyone fancies trying it out at home.
It was good fun trying out all the moves, here are some photos:
This morning we made Mindful Breathing Sticks from beads and pipe cleaners. This easy idea is to help the boys to self-regulate. The way they work is to take a deep breath each time you move a bead from the top to the bottom. Once all the beads are at the bottom they can be turned around and start again if need be.
