Science

Roma: We went to the nursery to play with toys. We were looking for things that could push or pull.

Pati: In the see-saw you had to push your legs.

Luke: The wheel swing – you can push and pull.

Freya: In the garden I found ice and we brought it back to the classroom. We watched the ice melt in a tub. We put the tubs back outside to see if the water would turn into ice overnight. When we checked in the morning it was still water because it wasn’t cold enough at night time.
