World Water Day Celebrations!

25 March 2019

Last week was World Water Day! To celebrate, Learning Adventures Maeroa all dressed up in blue, and learned about plastic in the ocean through a variety of experiments. They then finished the day off by making blue and green jelly! Yum!

Everyday in lots of different ways, opportunities present themselves for our children to engage in mathematical concepts.

No doubt over the years we’ve all had a wee dabble playing with play dough- whether it be the commercial play-doh brand that was first marketing as a play product in the 1950’s or the homemade version that has been whipped up in kitchens all around the world. There are many reasons why playdough is so popular and the skills developed through playing with this medium go far deeper than just imagination and creativity!

There’s no denying the delight that bubbles can bring for children and adults alike! As an adult it comes naturally to us to be able to blow bubbles, but have you ever thought about the different skills it takes?
