This week is always a firm favourite here at EcoKids! Seeing the amazement and excitement on the kiddos faces as they watch and perform experiments is just so awesome! As teachers we have seen these experiments time and time again but getting to watch the children see and experience them for the first time is what makes this week just magical. 

This is what our busy week included:

A fun milk and food colouring experiment which the children loved.

We learnt all about and observed a sundial this week, so test your little one’s knowledge on different clocks and what a sundial is. 

We did an awesome candle experiment where a candle covered in a jar sucks up the water beneath it. The kids thought this was magic! 

 We coloured in some flowers for you and your little one to do your very own experiment at home 🙂 send a picture on the group if you manage to do it. 

 We went on two nature walks this week where we collected some goodies that we will use for something we will be working on throughout the year. 

 During FunFit sports the Crew did sack races which are always so much fun and such a laugh! The kids loved this. 

 We started working on our special Easter art towards the end of this week which we are putting extra love into. Please don’t forget to bring a sock if you haven’t already. 

 We hope you have an awesome weekend! 

 

 

And that's a wrap!

Dinosaurs – Under the Soil

Amongst the many different activities we have completed this week, we did a fossil like Pterodactyl made out of pasta. The Crew had to copy the example, planning where to glue next and how many pieces of pasta they would need. It came out really beautifully.

Space

Space

Space is always such an exciting and interesting theme which we can expand so much on. The Crew have a good understanding of space and it was great to go into the finer detail about space. This week our ring times have been extra-long because there is just so much information on space.

Reptiles

For art this week, we decided it would be a cool idea for the Crew to make their own Reptile booklets. We set out a displayed and instructed the children to draw first in black as the outline and then to colour in the pictures they had drawn. These came out so beautifully and we have decided to keep them for Art Expo.
