  • read the story of Mrs. Wishy Washy and re-enacted the story using costumes and props.  

  • played in the new laundry area in the garden, washing all of the baby clothes.

  • talked about evaporation by asking Where do puddles go? We also put wet clothes on the drier and used a hair drier to demonstrate evaporation.

  • read the story Drippy the Raindrop.

  • cooked cupcakes.

  • did bubble wrap printing.

  • set up a cafe role play area and the children are doing lots of mark making there.

  • put different materials into tins and the children had to feel them and talk about the textures e.g warm/cold water, baby oil, sand, air.
