It was certainly a fun day of an unstructured play. Here are a few pictures of the day.

We traveled to Australia

Looked at the life cycle of a plant

 Egg experiment- Children observed their plants grow and if there are any changes?

Next, we will talk about measuring our plants using different materials.
