POP! - Bubble fun

For our focus on the letter P this week we have been learning about things that can "Pop!" especially bubbles.

Here are some photos from our bubble fun on Thursday afternoon. We practiced our controlled bubble breathing so we could blow the bubbles and used pipe cleaners to make our own bubble wands - experimenting with size and shape to see which blew the best or the biggest bubbles.

Some children even experimented with using their hands to blow the bubbles and others raced to see if they could run as fast as the bubbles could float.
