Our topic is Elmer the Elephant this term.  We have been doing lots of fun activities linked to the book.  We read an interactive version of the story and all the children enjoyed feeling the animals and using the switch.

We have done some messy play activities with colourful rice, ice cubes and pom poms! Everyone explored the different textures and colours really well. In art we made our very own Elmer using milk cartons and tissue paper, we also used colourful paint in lots if ways to make some wonderful pieces of art. We explored paint, pens and crayons in theses activities.

We did a little science experiment with skittles and watched all the colours spreading around the plate and we played with coloured ice cubes and watched the colour mixing as the melted too! We have been exploring colour in our colour group too, the children enjoyed choosing different items to explore in this group.

What a fun topic this has been!
