Magnets (Monday-Friday)

The bairns have been exploring all things ‘Magnet’ this week. They have used them in different ways to make shapes, numbers, buildings, rockets, cages and more!

On Tuesday we received a very kind donation of playdoh, everyone got stuck in to see what was in the box and to make their own creations as well as using the tools that were included.

(Monday – Thursday) Our wobble board has been very popular this week, being used as a bridge, a tunnel, a skateboard, surfboard and a bed!

(Wednesday) The bairns have been using their senses to smell, touch and taste some citrus and tropical fruits. Lemons, limes, clementines, blood oranges, pomelo, passion fruit and mango.

‘It smells lik my yogurt.’ ‘I like it it’s sweet.’ ‘Dis is spicy, so spicy.’ ‘It smells sour.’ ‘Dis one feels squishy.’

(Wednesday) I got a few helpers asking if they could shred paper with me. Following a chat about how we used the paper for bedding for the hens and sorting paper and cardboard in a different bin from plastic, cans and glass the question was raised. ‘how do you get paper?’ We watched a clip on the board, from the trees getting cut down, being shredded, made into pulp with water then into sheets and left to dry into paper. I suggested we could have a go using the shredded paper. I will add the results to next weeks blog.

(Monday to Friday) More fun and games over the week.

Hope you all have a lovely long weekend.
