Sandpit fun

The sun was shinning today, so in the afternoon the children got out and enjoyed some quatily time in the sandpit, We used our fingers and wrote our name in the sand, explored the texture of the sand. Talked about what it felt like, was it hot, cold, wet, dry, rought or smooth and then built  a tower or what ever we liked. It was a great experience and the children really enjoyed it. There was lots of oral discussion while the children played. Some of the children had to problem solve as they worked in small groups, while others chose to work by themsleves.
