This week we helped plant seeds for fruit plants and vegetables . The children have enjoyed planting some sunflower seeds, some strawberries and some peas. We will care for these over the coming months and see what grows.
Watch this space…….. 🌻🍓
While playing with the farm set, the children were naming the various animals and the sounds they make. This led to the discussion of where some foods come from which promoted us to create a farm shop in the role play area so the children can buy foods, use their numeracy skills to manage the cash register and develop their social skills by role playing and sharing the resources. 🐄 🐖 🦆
The children have also been experimenting this week. The children have been creating their own raining clouds using shaving foam, water and food colouring. We spoke about our clouds in the sky and when they get too full they burst as well which makes it rain. The children have been using new tools called pipettes to drip their rain drops into their shaving foam clouds. The children have loved being little scientists this week👩🔬👨🔬
