•Have a race with your friends - set your boats off down a stream or blow them across a puddle, who is the winner?
•Test how much cargo your boat can carry - try loading it with small pebbeles, fallen flower heads and leaves to see how strong it is.
•Use different materials - follow these instructions with larger paper, card or waterproof materials.
•Make a 3D collage - cover your boat's hull with leaves, do they make it waterproof? What can you use to increase the size of the sails so they catch the wind?
This 18 slide PowerPoint highlights the ‘Spectacular’ signs of Spring.
I have included photographs taken in and around Wythenshawe and a video providing audial and visual aids to celebrate this wonderful time of year. The rhyming string throughout the PowerPoint complements the photographs. This resource would be a great introduction to a nature sound walk for children in early years and a visual aid introducing signs of Spring. The language can be adapted to cater for the needs of your children. Metaphors have been used throughout the poem which would be a great introduction to poetry for older children and also to introduce the use of cameras to capture the beauty of nature.
