Into Space!
We have recently been talking about the Moon! About its shape, colour and where and when we can see it…
L: “You can only see it at night time.”
A: “You can’t see it during the day because the Sun is too bright.”
P: “Sometimes the moon is just a half of circle.”
M: “Last night I saw the moon out of my window and it was big and very bright!”
We decided to make our own moon! For that we used paper mache. First, we had to learn all about it – what it is and what ingredients we need. We’ve found out that it’s simply just water and flour. We made our mixture, tore newspaper into long straps and started sticking the straps onto a balloon by dipping the paper into the paper mache mixture.
L: “You need to wipe it off before sticking it on!”
R: “Wet!”
A: “It looks like porridge!”
L: “It’s very sticky!”
P: “Is it going to be harder tomorrow?”
The next day we checked on our moon and it became very hard overnight! We decided to paint it white and grey – just like on a picture in our space book.
Making the moon has sparked a lot of conversation about space, planets and the stars. We even decided to make our own sun – you can see it in our creative zone!
Outdoor clothing
We would like to remind parents and families about suitable outdoor clothing as well as a spare set of clothes for children.
The weather hasn’t been great recently, but we still love to play and learn in our outdoor area. We do get wet from the puddles a lot although it comes with all the fun and learning!
Could you please remember about wellies, waterproof/warm jacket and a change of clothes in case we get too excited with the rain and puddles, please? Thank you!
