Nursery

This week we have been learning about static electricity!! We rubbed balloons on our clothes and then used them to see if we could pick up different materials.  We made funny beards and hair on our balloon faces.

Also today we used magnets to move paper clips, that had been dipped in paint, on paper plates. We created some fantastic patterns!! We talked about which objects would stick to our magnets and why. 

We have read the story ‘Night monkey, Day monkey’ and discovered the monkeys have shadows. We wondered if we had shadows so we investigated this. We had a look for our shadows and found out why we have them in the day time. We now know why we can’t see them at night time too. Look at the funny shapes we made on the hall floor using our bodies.
