NURSERY
WINTER UNIT


Hello Nursery families,

In this unit we talked about the Winter season. We chose to learn all about hot and cold, snow and rain, snowmen, we experimented with vinegar and baking soda. We also had lots of fun playing in snow during outdoor play!

This unit we really gained an appreciation for literacy and math! We did lots of activities using winter accessories! 

This unit we did a lot of interesting science experiments. We put roses in to colored water and the result of that was so exciting, we sprayed vinegar on to baking soda and watched the magic happen!
