What a fantastic Welly Thursday session we had today, the children learned all about igloos. We discussed what an igloo is, how we build igloos, who lives/stays in igloos and how we can stay warm in something made from something so cold.

For our ‘Welly Thursday’ session today, the children explored positional language. We listened to a story called ‘Snail Trail’ by Ruth Brown 🐌 Then we talked about all the positional language we could use, in this we had some cue cards with pictures of a fox 🦊 in which they identified where the fox was.

We have all been busy scientists this week. We have further explored the properties of materials. We have made close observations and made predictions about whether objects are waterproof/ not waterproof. We were able to use fantastic vocabulary such as ‘absorbent’ and ‘soggy’ as we observed. We also did an experiment to find out if objects and different materials sink or float. Some great predictions and a few surprises too! ... See MoreSee Less
