The children in Parrots have been exploring different materials. They have been identifying different properties of these materials and describing them based on the properties. We have discussed properties such as: absorbent, transparent, hard, smooth, soft. The children enjoyed playing the 'Guess What is in the Bag Game' where children described an object based on its properties and by using this information the others guessed what the object was. Great fun - you could play this at home.
