Let's Make an Aquarium

Today the challenge was to create a realistic aquatic environment. This is the sequence of guidelines that were given to the childen:

  1. What needs to go on the bottom? Look in the store rooom to see if you can find them. (bottle of small white stones)
  2.  Can you find the underwater plants and put them in? Why is it good to have them there?
  3.  Choose everything that belongs in water from this large selection of animals and put them into the aquarium.
  4. Which animals and/or fish of those you have chosen also like to be out of the water?
As soon as the sun came out, we moved the activity to the larger water tray outside. More children then joined in.







Hopscotch

These tiles are especially made to fit together into a hopscotch format - if the numbers are followed correctly. The children worked together to figure it out and then enjoyed doing the activity.This combines maths with physical challenge and fun.



Could we do this again please?

What!!! Blue margarine!!! Toasted!!! Covered in sprinkles!!! How revolutionary!!!

...... next time could we please have a choice of colours to prove that whatever food colour we use - red, green, orange, red or even black - the taste stays the same?

Doesn't buttering bread require some skill and concentration!
