Discovery and Magician

Discovery Time is one of the most anticipated and enjoyed parts of our week.
Last one of the term - and oh we did enjoy it!

Following on from our colour-mixing lessons with Ira last week, some of our discovery activities had us experimenting with colour. This is an experiment that uses milk, food colouring and dishwashing liquid.  You can make amazing patterns with these. We used the primary colours of red, blue and yellow and found that they make the secondary colours of green, purple and orange, just as they do when you mix paint. The dish washing liquid makes the milk explode. We don't know why, but we will find out next term.

 Another colour and building choice was building felt pictures.  We can't mix these colours but we can make a huge variety of pictures.  We're very good at using the iPad to take photos now.

Building is one of our favourite things to do and we always have a variety of things to build and make with.  We know how to make amazing buildings and also pictures with the rods. 

We often have the make and do box out. 

We love to create things with paper, cardboard, boxes and all sorts of things.

 To end a lovely last day at school we had a special treat when a fabulously funny magician from New Caledonia came to put on a show for us.  We laughed and laughed, but we don't know how he did his tricks.
Thanks to Lylla's mum and dad for bringing him in.
