Exploring Different Materials

Exploring Different Materials | BSB Sanlitun - Exploring Different Materials

This past week the children of Nursery have enjoyed exploring different materials such as sand, rice, oats, and sticky slime. 

The children were super curious and described the differences and similarities between the materials, their favourite being the sticky slime, stretching it apart and comparing the tiny threads to spiderman’s webs.

They also mixed some materials together to observe the changes, such as sand and water. Some children also created their own slime using different resources, they were amazed to see the mixture change before their eyes and become slime.

The children have also enjoyed building different structures independently and testing their strength, emulating parts of the story of The Three Little Pigs. Additionally, we have begun embracing the Summer season, children have been painting their summer thoughts such as rainbows and sunny weather.
