Theme of the month: Water

Hook activities (Activities 1-4) to get the kids interested in the topic of water.. 

Water beads can be purchased easily at popular bookstore in Singapore. But ensure your kids do not eat them while having fun..

Activity 1: we explored different form of water thru spray art- water dripping down when too much concentrates tgt when sprayed at a close range and how a mist effect is created when water is sprayed at a long range.. 

Activity 2: observing how water can be absorbed through water beads..the kids just enjoyed looking at the beads growing in size as they take in more water. 

 Activity 3: sensory play with water beads.. 
Activity 4: water beads rolling art.. Prepare some poster Colour, dip the beads in and roll them around. 

 Activity 5: Learning about the Water Cycle. I got the kids to draw a simple representation of the water cycle. Then I added in the vocabulary and terms.

Activity 6: Learning more about Rain. I used the different coloured paper to teach them about how rain is formed. So the first cloud has very little water droplets and hence lighter in colour and they are further apart. As more and more water droplet is collected, they become closer and darker. Until finally, there are so much water droplets all squeezed together, they become dark because they block out most of the light passing through them. And that's usually about time they come down as rain.

Activity 7: Sources of water. We also did a short lesson on the different sources of water on earth. The children were surprised that we could find freshwater sources and they wanted to find out why these sources can give freshwater.

Activity 8: Water Pollution. We also talked briefly about water pollution and its impact on marine animals and humans.
