Colour mixing🟠🟡🟣🔵🔴
The children enjoyed this activity on transporting water into different cups through kitchen roll. We socked it into differ t cups and left it a couple of days before returning to see what the outcome would be.
The water had mixed and the children could identify that red and blue made “purple”, red and green made “brown” and yellow and green made “brown”. The children then used pipette and enjoyed mixing colours into pieces of kitchen roll.
Exploring forces with a hairdryer💨
we attached a balloon to a piece of string, the children used the hair dryer to move it from on end to the other. Some of the children predicted that it would move and some predicted they through it would burst. This was very excited for them to explore.
The children then found items from around the room to see what else might float with the hairdryer. The children discovered that feather would float high as they were “light” but they also discovered that ball pit balls would float above the hairdryer as they were light enough to fly.
GOING WALKS AROUND THE ESTATE🌲
We went a couple walks around the estate this week due to the nice weather. We went a walk to the local charity shop to by some reusable materials and resources for our room to support our new curiosity approach.
We explored the woodland area behind the ECC to collect stick, leaves and even a very large branch that a child dragged back with them😂
Pancake day🥞🥞
For pancake day we made homemade pancakes. The children could demonstrate that you washed your hands to begin with. They helped sieve the flour, crack in the eggs, pour in the milk then mix it all together. This was a great team building activity and the children all took turns to have a shot.
Lava lamps🔵🔴
The children created lava lamps, we used food colouring and water to begin with. We then added the oil using the funnel to make it easier to transfer it into so we didn’t have any spillages.
Bicarbonate and vinegar🧪
We have been exploring different experiments all week, the children used pipettes to add vinegar to the bicarbonate/food colouring. This was excited as the children were predicting what they think might happen and once they added the vinegar watching what happens.
