As the wet weather continued.......


The wet weather has continued. I have been trying to think of ways to incorporate messy play into the programme as this is often an experience done outside. We had little black trays that were the perfect size for cornflour and water messy play. Mollie, Libby, Taylah, Corbin and Paige took interest in this they added the water and cornflour themselves and Corbin helped me to add the coloured dye to the slime. This is a fun science experience that is so easy to do. The texture changes when you have it in your hands it starts to drip from your fingers, I watched as Taylah had it dripping from her hands. Mollie enjoyed mixing the water and cornflour together, sometimes ending up with too much water then it changed the consistency. What great learning, experimenting, trying things out and exploration. Paige used the fork to mix hers and even taste tested it too. Libby mixed and transported her slime into another container.
