Activities in Ladywell,  20th September, 2017

Children asked to make bubbles outside. We discussed what they would need and they found the tough spot, washing up liquid and water to make the bubble mixture.  They had to experiment in order to discover a mixture that worked.

The morning children were delighted to discover an enormous puddle in the garden on Thursday and spent the morning filling and emptying containers, pouring water down the guttering, jumping, and splashing and watching the water move as they rode bikes and scooters through it. Some children discovered that one of our containers floated and wanted to make a boat but when they got inside discovered it did not float any more! All very interesting ; resulting in a lot of discussion. Please remember to put a full change of clothes in your child’s nursery bag as the waterproofs can leak in extreme weather!

Indoors June brought in a branch from an apple tree with apples still attached. The children were interested to see this and wanted to taste the apples. We are going to continue to taste different sorts of apples next week and through discussion with the children find out what else they would like to learn about apples or other fruit.
