Wonderful Water!

 

Our current topic is ‘Wonderful Water’. Our class books are ‘The Big Red Bath’. ‘Pig in the Pond’ and ‘There was an Old Lady who swallowed the Sea’.

Wagtails have had a very fun-filled few weeks. As you can see in the photos, it has included getting a little messy!!

So far, we have been reading ‘The Big Red Bath’, with the other two stories making an appearance in the coming weeks. We have read the story as a whole class, with a smaller group also taking part in a Big Red Bath sensory story.

We are learning about floating and sinking and are exploring using all our senses. This has involved:

  • Exploring red sand, glitter and gloop
  • Counting and sorting animals
  • Water play (which was extremely popular on the humid days!!)
  • Floating and sinking tasks using a variety of different items
  • Painting our own big red baths
  • Making boats out of a variety of different materials – will they float or will they sink?
  • Going on an adventure using our own Big Red Bath and animals that feature in the story
  • Role-play with small world toys to re-tell and re-create stories
  • Learning to read key vocabulary linked to our topic: water, bubble, empty, full, float, sink.
