Understanding the World
Understanding the world involves guiding children to make sense of their physical world and their community through opportunities to explore, observe and find out about people, places, technology and the environment.
This term, we have been investigating forces make things move, change shape and balance. Here we are using the gutters and stands to build slopes and ramps for the balls. We explored what happened when we added water and changed the heights and directions of the stands.
We visited our beautiful forest and talked about the rules that we would need to follow to keep us happy and safe while in this area. We were able to identify some of the flowers, trees and plants growing there, for example, brambles, apple trees, oak trees and irises.
Here we are taking care of God’s wonderful world by tidying and preparing the allotment for winter.
