  • make a symmetrical picture with the seeds

Sensory –

Growing a Magic Potion Garden - Picklebums   Pin on The Natural World

Another thing I liked to do when I was a little girl was to make ‘perfumes and potions’.

Here’s how you do it:

You need a small plastic cup or a jar and a stick.

Now you need to collect some potion ingredients such as little pieces of herbs, leaves, grass,  earth or flowers.

Put your ingredients in your cup or jar, add a little water and stir.

You have made a perfume or potion, you decide.

Try smelling it with your eyes closed. What can you smell?

Who in your family can make the nicest perfume or the smelliest potion?

Give your perfume or potion a name!

Dance –

What does Rachel have planned for you? Have a look!

Challenge of the Day –

Watch how different insects and birds fly.

Try to follow some of them. How do they move? Do they move in a straight line?

Have a fun Thursday Pink Class!
