Year Foundation Week 5 Visual Art Activity
Parents just a quick message to advise that this activity will require parental supervision and assistance. Also, please only use the resources that you may already have at home.
Learning Intention: For children to engage in conversation, expand their vocabulary, make individual choices, and practice fine motor skills as they learn through cooking and discovering, the scientific elements of bread rising.
Success Criteria: When children can talk about the process of bread making, the ingredients used and how bread rises?
Talking Point: Have a discussion and go deeper with your child explaining how the yeast in the mixture helps your bread to rise and why this is happening. This will assist your child to have some understanding of the scientific component behind bread making. Learning while having fun!
We are learning and playing with simple kitchen science experiments. Why kitchen science? because everything you need is already in your kitchen cupboards. There are so many cool experiments you can do at home with everyday household items. This experiment is sure to develop a love for not only being creative in art, but also learning through science. Have lots of fun kids and please remember to film, share and upload your work via Seesaw, email and/or google doc.
REMEMBER GET CREATING!
