Hi All

Must be feeling stunned by the bank holidya sunshine, as cannot get my head around an activity to support this Knowledge Evidence.......
Support Play, Creativity and Learning Ideas....... Am thinking that any activity will support this, but want to find something that will be different/special.

Any ideas you may have to jog me in to action much appreciated......
Hope you are having fun!

Hi

How about blowing & sucking ?

This is a great way for younger children to find out about forces - breath /wind and direction - in & out ... also good to have a go at this before introducing bubble paint blowing lol

Have a table with diffently sized & coloured/transparent straws and a variety of movable objects.

Feathers, balls of scrunched up paper, small sheets of tissue paper ..

See which can be moved by blowing & which can be moved by sucking !

A few trays or bowls can be good to collect the sucked/'stuck to the end of the staw' things. Show how they can be released into a bowl once the vaccum or suction ceases / children stop sucking !!

Risk assess beforehand just to make sure there isn't anything small enough or can break off to travel up into the mouth & cause choking.

Hth
