Music

We were learning to keep a rhythm against other rhythms. Enjoy the music we created without bought instruments.

Shadows

We discovered a patch of light. We started making shadow puppets. We wonder...

• Why do they come out when they're light and not dark?
• Why can't you see your mouth, eyes and face in a shadow? 
• Why do shadows follow your movement? 
• How shadows work? 
• How does the sun make shadows? 
• How do they look like animals? 
• Why do your hands not look like animals, but the puppets look like animals? 
• What is a silhouette? 
• What happens to your shadow when you move your hands closer to the light or further away from the light?

Our wonderful new playground 'loose objects'.

Running

We are learning to run. When we run we pump our arms, run on the balls of our feet and look ahead.

Inquiry learning

Ants (and welcome back)!

 Here is a video could help you learn something new about ants. Post a comment to share something you know or have learnt about ants!
