As part of this week’s topic, the children enjoyed adding powder paint to water. Cornflour was then added to thicken the liquid. Paint brushes were used to make patterns and there was lots of swirling and mark-making.

I think the Skittle Experiment was the children’s favourite activity. The Robins sat patiently as they waited for the colours to drain away from the Skittles to create a beautiful pattern. Never missing a learning opportunity, I spoke about hot water and the dangers and I must say, the children did some great listening with their good listening ears.
