Hello Everyone
I can’t believe how beautiful the weather has been this week…Super Sunshine. I went for a walk at 8am yesterday morning, the bird songs are clear and now sound so loud because we don’t have many cars on the road, It’s such an stunning sound. Have you heard the bird sing on your walks? What is also amazing is how the flowers and new leaves just shimmer in the morning light.
I wonder if the sun is shining on Friday you might wish to explore learning outside again but this time looking at water. I am sure some of you will have already been exploring water outside and inside!! Water is always a HUGE interest because of its sensory properties and calming effect.
I have pick 2 of the 100’s of water activities you might wish to explore. I’m sure you will have fun with water what every activity you choose. Even just washing your mum & dads car or washing the dishes, is fun learning.
- Have you tried painting with water outside on you path or on your patio. Maybe you, your mum, dad or older sibling could even paint around your hand with water to make a shape. You might even be able to paint, lines, a picture or even letters in your name.
-
- Wait and watch how they explore the water.
-
- What will they create?
-
- Where will they paint?
-
- I wonder if you could make your own garden soup or perfume with tree blossom or flower petals. Collect petals that have blown off trees in you garden or you find on your daily walk. Bring back your treasures and mix them together in a bowl of water in the garden or on your balcony. Mixing garden potions are always fun.
I wonder if any of you feed the birds in your garden? What do you feed your birds? Or maybe you feed the ducks on your walk?

The website is GREAT because you can click on each bird image and hear their individual bird songs and calls. Enjoying listening to the sounds. I wonder if you will be able to name any birds?
