This week in Smarties our sensory focus is slime! Did you know that slime has properties of both a liquid and a solid? Scientifically this is called a non-Newtonian fluid, and it's caused by the shape of the slime molecules...

On Wednesday we will have a go at making slime to play with, as well as catching some sunshine while riding the bikes and playing in the sandpit.

On Thursday we will look for animals that use slime to help themselves, like slugs and snails, and we'll learn about how slime is useful in nature.

On Friday we'll be playing with the balancing equipment, building our gross motor skills and having fun! We'll have a play with some slime, read a story about a snail who wants to see the world, and make some snails to take home!

We hope to see you there!
