Messy Water Play Fun
What wonderful weather we've had lately!
Here in the pepe room, we love to explore water play and to make the most of these wonderful summery days we've had lots of fun in the water. We've had bubbly water in the trough to explore and we've set up plenty of muddy opportunities for exploration.
Through providing water play for tamariki it supports their hand-eye coordination. They learn how to control and manipulate the water using a variety of tools and their bodies. They start to learn about volume and measuring as they use containers to fill up and pour. They start to understand heavy/light, floating/sinking, full/empty and shallow/deep. They learn to problem as they explore the water and they learn to share and play alongside each other. But most of all they learn to have fun as they explore using their whole bodies.
Through exploring the water, we are embracing what we love in the pepe room which is to get messy!
