With the days getting colder and darker this week we took the opportunity to explore light in the nursery. Our tamariki (children) were very excited to get out our light tray and see all of the different coloured lights come through the tray and change. We added in some coloured, see through blocks to explore more how these colours would mix together and how the light tray could change the way the blocks looked. This experience gave our tamariki the opportunity to work alongside each other and together to share the blocks and space around the tray. There was lots of "ooohh" and "ahhhh" as the colours changed and the amazement came across the tamariki. Exploring light is always fun in the nursery and can provide new learning opportunities about how the world around us works and how different lights can change the way we see objects.
