Today we had a messy math circle time which was fun. Children got to sort out sticks which we had collected from the woods before and put them together in bunches from one to five. They are going to continue with the next five numbers next week.

Lpfö: Develop Their understanding of quantity, order and number.

Chemistry Day

Last Friday we had our Chemistry Day and did some fun experiments with children. We mixed shaving foam with blue and yellow paint in order to create a rainbow effect. We also learnt that by mixing blue and yellow we get green.

Lpfo:

Develop their understanding of science and relationship to nature as well as knowledge of plants, animals, and also simple chemical processes and physical phenomena

Making kites

Sunflowers as part of their IPC Theme, Transport, got to make their own kites out of bin liners that they decorated, barbecue skewers for body and ribbons, feathers for tails. They discussed what's heavy and what's light, what will fly highest and how to fly them so they stay up in the air. 

LPFÖ: develop their ability to build, construct and create using different techniques, materials and tools

During our circle time, as a part of our IPC theme, we talked about space transports and rockets and also how real rockets lunched in Florida. Then children learned how to make rockets with paper and straws and made their own and decorated them. We had a race then to see who can launch his/her rocket higher.

Lpfö: Develop their ability to identify technology in everyday life, and explore how simple technology works.

Develop their understanding of space, shapes, location and direction, and the basic properties of sets, quantity, order and number concepts, also for measurements, time and change

Sunflowers

As a part of our IPC theme, we prepared paper airplanes for our Friday flight race. This got children to think how to make them fly higher, faster, further... The children got to make their own aircrafts and decorate them, training imagination and fine motor skills. 

LPfö: Develop their ability to build, create and construct using different techniques, materials and tools.
