This term we are engaging our curiosities closer to home with exploration of water and taking care of the local environment. This term we will be experiencing transport on a local canal boat to observe and explore man-made waterways. We are also heading to a local beach to take part in the Sefton Beach Clean-up, where we'll be using child-friendly litter pickers to remove some of the rubbish along the coastal path.

This week we read a new class story about mermaids and how they wash their tails in the sea. We looked at different textures that represent the sea and different styles of bubbles including foam, bubbles, and frothy soapy suds. Due to the high temperatures, we also had lots of fun keeping cool with water play and pretending to be mermaids like int he story!
