EYFS- UTW
Tue 25 Apr 2023We were very excited to see the ‘Orbees’ changed size and explore them in our mini beast area. We predicted what might happen when we added the water, the children gave examples such as go fizzy, bouncy and get bigger. The children have described how they feel and used them for a pond for the frogs. They have sang the five little speckled frogs and used their phonics to read the clues and match it to the the correct mini beast.
