During this week we made 'fruit smoothies' with the 3 year old children. They were excited to engage in this experiment and have a taste . The ingredients we added were yoghurt, milk and mixed berries. We used the kitchen blender to mix and thicken the consistency. This science experience triggered interesting conversation for the children as they had many questions they wanted answered. We discussed the mixing of colours, blending the fruit and the levels of liquid rising.
The second experience that took off with a huge amount of interest was the string painting. The children explored and created different images by pulling the painted string onto paper. When the children opened the page they had an image, the children came up with ideas they had about the images linking it to their own experiences.
The children kept busy with a variety of other activities and regular walks to the senior oval.
Enjoy your weekend!
