Darkness

 What an exciting week we have had in Foundation. On Wednesday the unit was in darkness and the children had the opportunity to experience play using their senses. Their eyes adapted quickly and we observed the children working out how to utilise their torches to enable them to continue with activities of their choosing. 

I have included a selection of photos that hopefully demonstrate just how dark the environment was.

                                            The children made shadow patterns on the sensory light.

                                           I positioned my torch so that I could cut the paper.

                                       We had glitter in the play dough and our torches made it sparkle.

                            We played with the sensory lights. We thought it looked like an octopus.

                                                           We made a fire with the wood.

                        We put the torches near the fruit bowl so that we could choose our snack.

                                                               We enjoyed reading books.

                                                           We made patterns in the sand.

What an amazing day.

Next week is Chinese New Year and we will be learning about this celebration. We will be eating noodles with chopsticks.

Have a great weekend.
