I like the hail H-A-I-L





What odd weather today, sunshine and sunblock then hail and rain!
We ran around and caught the hail on our clothes, pootae and in a big blue bucket.
Laker, with Elijah's help, carried the bucket to collect hail stones in. Sarah shows off the many hail stones that landed on her jersey. Eneri searched for hail on his sweatshirt and Noah picked the hail off his sleeves and ate it.
"Children develop strategies for actively exploring and making sense of the world by using their bodies, including active exploration with all senses, and the use of tools, materials and equipment to extend skills", Exploration, Te Whaariki.
By touching, running in, transporting and tasting the hail we could experience what frozen rain is like.
