The Moonbeams have been learning that not all children are lucky enough to have food and water at every meal time. The children expressed their emotions as plates were handed out to them. Some plates had plenty of food, some had very little food and others had none. The children identified their emotions on the board to show how they felt about their plates.

The Moonbeams had great fun investigating the changes of ingredients during this science activity. The children observed the difference in texture when the marshmallows were melted and then felt the changes with their hands as the cornflour and oil were added. They had great fun playing with the slime and they all thought it smelled lovely!

Investigating foods with seeds
The Moonbeams have had great fun learning through food this week. The Moonbeams were inquisitive Scientists as they explored and investigated fruit and vegetables with seeds of different sizes. They discovered that some foods had none, only a few or too many to count. The Magnifying glasses helped them see the really small seeds clearly. The children had great fun especially squishing the tomatoes and making lots of mess!
Investigating where Eggs and Milk comes from
