Water Park - 4 Hour Class

When we went outside to play at our park today, it did not look like our usual park. But instead it was a water park. There was water everywhere.
 


The children got intrigued right away with all the water. Everyone was curious to see how deep the water was.
 
 
 
Dayna said “the water is too high, it will make my socks wet”. With that being said, she did not go in the water.
 
 
 
 
 


 
 
 
 
 
 On the other hand, Austin and Elliot went in the water to see how deep it was. Both were convinced that their boots and muddy buddy would keep them dry. Elliot said “the water is lower
than my boots”. 

 
 
 
Keane used a stick to measure the depth of the water. It was only the stick that was submerged in water because he did not want to get wet.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chelsea measured how deep the water was by going in and using a stick. She was also interested in seeing whether the stick and leaves float or sink.
 
 
 

We definitely had a fun experience at our “water park” today. Some of the children even suggested that they bring their bathing suits next class. Playing at the park with all the water, gave the children the opportunity to practice their skills in measurement (depth of water), buoyancy (float or sink) and gross motor skills (walking in water).  I wonder what the park will look like the next time we go outside.

Until next time,
