The week began with our children making the most of our construction materials that are out in the room. They got very creative making all kinds of structures, working together and independently.
With school transitions approaching we went to the school grounds to explore the playground and the different environment. When we were here we played some attention and listening games as this is a skill that the room can find challenging, is remembering our “listening ears”.
Floating and sinking💧
This activity was interesting as the children mentioned that the larger items were floating because they were bigger and the smaller ones sunk because they were small. This encouraged conversations with the children about weights and why things that are bigger don’t always mean they are heavier etc and the same with smaller items. This allowed us to then introduce scales where we can further the learning of this into next month👍🏽
On Friday some of our PM children were doing an activity to see what ball will roll and what kinds of balls won’t. They created a ramp from our construction materials to use. They had a discussion about what the ball looked like and had a guess as to what one would get to the bottom first and go ‘faster’.
