I am Water

We watched this video, it got us thinking about water and how important it is.  We have had lots of interesting discussions about water and our bodies, Ashton told us that when water leaves our body it is called urine.  Isala worked out if 70% of the Earth is covered in water then 30% is land.

This morning Ray and Ashton introduced to Room 14 and 11 our new Osmo kits, we all got to have a go using the Number, Word, Tangram, Newton and Masterpiece
