Science week in Reception involved investigating bubbles…what bubbles are, why bubbles float up, what shape bubbles are, what colour bubbles are and exploring different sized bubbles. The children took part in many different bubble activities that you can also try at home. These included:

•  Making bubble sculptures – As a child blows into a half cup of bubble solution, a mountain of bubbles will appear.
•  Using pipe cleaners to make bubble wands of different shapes.
•  Having a bubble race – The first child across the finish line without popping his or her bubble wins!
•  Printing with bubbles – Add food coloring to the bubble mixture. Then use a straw to blow bubbles in a cup or tray. Then place a piece of white paper on the top until the bubbles pop. The bursting bubble will create interesting designs and patterns.

Here are some photos from the week…
