Science:

The 5 senses- explore through taste (I See/I Think/I Wonder)

Encourage a sense of
wonder! Explore through
play and inventiveness. The

At this stage, children are

At this stage, children are the length of the day?

thorough understanding of
weight and measurement
through
visual
representations and trial-anderror.
