Wet Weather

The wet weather has never stopped the children in Reception wanting to use our outdoor area and this week and last has been no exception. The children have started to explore colour mixing and we decided to use the puddles as our palette. We added powder paint to change the colour of the puddles and the children predicted what colour the water would turn when we mixed the paints together.

 

Recently Mr Webb fixed some water butts to the drain pipes to try and improve the amount of flooding we have in the outdoor area. With the water butts filling up fast, the children were very helpful in emptying them regularly.

Lastly the water has been very useful for making potions! The boys decided to add mud to the water every time they cast a spell, resulting in a very muddy bowl!

Sometimes the best thing to do after it has been raining, is just to jump in muddy puddles!
