Our first Science Experiment.... When liquid dish soap is added to milk with drops of food colouring on the surface, the soap reduces the surface tension of the milk and reacts with the fat. This interaction causes the fat particles in the full cream milk to move and create swirls of colour. . What is the science behind colour changing milk? The food colouring in the full cream milk bowl will move the fastest because the dish soap bonds, or holds tight, with the fat in the milk. This bond is so strong that the water and the food coloring are pushed out. . The children were very excited to see the pretty colours and swirls happening right before their eyes. . . #familydaycare #karensdayfamilydaycare #familydaycareqld #scienceweek2019 . #familydaycareaustralia #familydaycare #familydaycareqld #karensdaycare #playmatters #eylf #playislearning #letthemplay #earlychildhoodeducation #earlyyearslearning #earlychildhoodunplugged #playallday #themontessoritribe #daycare #wherelearningmeetsplay #earlylearning #playathome #intentionalteaching #homeeducator

LEGO blocks are a great manipulative toy to work with. The children love building with them but today we used them a little bit differently. I found these lego number templates online. The children are developing problem solving skills, patience, organisational skills and learning about numbers as they find the blocks to match to the template pictures. This activity also promotes fine motor skills, encourages team work, improves communication skills, develops persistence, improves language skills and encourages better focus and concentration levels. . . #familydaycareaustralia #familydaycare #familydaycareqld #karensdaycare #playmatters #eylf #playislearning #letthemplay #earlychildhoodeducation #earlyyearslearning #earlychildhoodunplugged #playallday #themontessoritribe #daycare #wherelearningmeetsplay #earlylearning #playathome #intentionalteaching #homeeducator #finemotorskills #grossmotorskills #sensoryplay #colours #manipulativetoys #lego #legoblocks

Frozen Flowers and Herbs Sensory Play.. . . Sensory play encourages children to manipulate and mould materials, building up their fine motor skills and coordination. Sensory play uses all 5 senses, but the sense of touch is often the most frequent. Toddlers and children process information through their senses.  They learn through exploring these. . . #familydaycare #familydaycareaustralia #familydaycareqld #karensdaycare #sensoryplay #playbasedlearning #preparedplay #sensoryactivity #playislearning #learningjourney #themontessoritribe #letthemplay #messyplay

We had an eruption in the sand pit this morning. .... Experiment Time!!! . . . Science experiments like Volcano making are a fun way to experiment with pre-science and math skills....and early science experiences can set a child up for school success by fostering positive attitudes toward learning. . . . #familydaycare #familydaycareaustralia #familydaycareqld #karensdaycare #scienceexperiments #wherelearningmeetsplay #intentionalteaching #learningathome #learningthroughplay #volcanoeruption #volcano

Miss R brought in one of her favourite books for us to read today. .."The Rainbow Fish and the Sea Monsters Cave"... 'Rainbow Fish must brave the Sea Monsters' Cave, believed to be the most dangerous place in the ocean, to find healing algae to cure the ailing bumpy-backed fish. Warned by his friends about the dreadful dangers of the deep the giant rock monsters, the five-eyed globe fish, and the horrible creature with a thousand arms Rainbow Fish, accompanied by the little blue fish, musters all his courage and sets out on an exciting quest. In a satisfying and reassuring conclusion, Rainbow Fish discovers that by confronting his fears, it is possible to overcome them, and that sometimes there are simple, completely non-threatening explanations for made up dangers'. We read the book and then made these beautiful Collaged Rainbow Fish. . . . #familydaycareaustralia #familydaycare #familydaycareqld #karensdaycare #lovebooks #therainbowfish #books #craftwithchildren
