Volcanoes
We have had such a fun week learning about volcanoes. We mixed water, washing up liquid, red colouring and bicarbonate of soda in a bottle. It went a bit bubbly. When we added some vinegar it 'exploded' and looked like a volcano.
We also found out about volcanoes by looking at a book about volcanoes. We thought about the questions we wanted to find the answers to and found some fun facts. We found out that lava comes out of a volcano and that some volcanoes are sleeping. We loved watching a video clip of a volcano erupting and watching the lava move along the ground.
It was Internet Safety Week this week so we found out how to keep safe when using technology online. We watched a powerpoint about Smartie the Penguin and learnt this song;
Before you click, click, click
You need to think, think, think and
Tell someone.
The children were good at being able to say they need to tell a grown up if they see something they are not sure about online.
We went to Woodlands even though it was quite cold. We had to find different colours of green and used colour cards to match. We made some Rainbow Twigs by winding coloured wool around sticks.
After half term we will be learning about Chinese New Year, concentrating on the colour red.
Instead of book browsing on Monday 19th February, we will be sharing Learning Journals. Morning Nursery parents are welcome to come in at drop off between 8.40 and 8.55. We will be inviting Afternoon Parents in at pick up between 3.15 and 3.30. Please let us know if you are unable to attend these times and we can arrange a separate time for you to see your child's learning journal.
Have a lovely half term.

William has been telling me about volcanoes - he really enjoyed learning about them.
ReplyDeleteIsobel has been telling us about Smartie the Penguin and singing the song.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part was when we added red glitter to the volcano!
