Before the sunshine came out this week we had a wonderful time in the rain in the big playground. We used our whole bodies to explore some scientific questions, for example... 

We wondered why some areas of the playground had deep puddles and realised that it is because there were dips in the concrete. We also explored trying to dam the flow of water down to the drain.

Next, we experimented with who could make the biggest splashes. We found out that the best way to make a huge splash was to jump with two feet together and, much to the children's surprise, the big, heavy grown ups could make the biggest splashes of everyone!
