They placed bowls of water outside in the sun, in the shade by the building, inside on the window bottom and next to the bookshelf. They then predicted which bowl of water would evaporate most. Over the next 3 days they will check the bowls and measure the water.

Nursery - Maths. PE. - Building and Throwing

In Nursery class we have been following a pirate theme, linking with this the children used their construction skills to build walls out of our jumbo lego bricks. We discussed the colour and size of the bricks and the children also persevered to get them linked together. They then selected a 'cannon ball' and used a throwing skill to knock over the walls that they had built. The children really enjoyed this activity!
