\nToday the children used pipettes to draw up coloured ink and then dropped it onto the paper. They then used a straw to blow patterns. The children noticed the colours changing as the inks merged. They also noticed that the ink behaved differently on different materials eg \u201c It\u2019s more watery on the tin foil\u201d \u201c It doesn\u2019t make patterns on the bubble wrap\u201d<\/p>\n

The children talked about the colours they were using and which was their favourite they were able to work together and showed great turn taking skills waiting for their turn of the pipettes.<\/p>\n

In preparation for Halloween the children asked for something slimy and gooey to explore. The children decided that jelly would be best. The toddlers helped to make the jelly on Thursday \u00a0evening, they measured and stirred following my instructions closely. The children then \u00a0hid some natural autumnal items and some not so natural inspired by Halloween in the jelly.<\/p>\n

The children used all five senses to explore the jelly. Some used tweezers to take the objects out of the jelly developing their fine motor skills, others dived straight in with their hands. \u00a0The children used lots of descriptive language. \u201c\u201dSo sticky and cold\u201d\u201dJelly is delicious \u201c I\u2019ve got an orange jelly\u201d \u201cI see a pumpkin \u201c\u201dThis one has a pine cone in it\u201d \u201cThis jelly feels good it\u2019s wobbly and wet\u201d \u201cA bug it\u2019s hard and black\u201d \u201clet\u2019s see how many flowers we can get out\u201d\u201d I see three spiders they are tiny\u201d.<\/p>\n
