Water is essential to life on earth and this week in Play School we explore its importance through stories, songs, imaginative play and learning activities. We look at different bodies of water - such as the sea, rivers, ponds and lakes - and what kinds of animals live in and around these environments. We look at how water is used in everyday life – we travel across it in boats and ships and we use it to clean and wash things. We also explore the science of water – water can be frozen and used to help plants grow, etc. Join us this week as we have fun playing with and learning about water!
