Who knew that you could learn so much with a balloon??
The children in Starling class had great fun today playing with balloons. First of all we blew them up and let them go, great fun as they flew around the room making funny noises. Lots of asking for "more" and "again".
Then we blew them up and tied knots in them, where we learned about up and down, light and heavy, big and small.
Finally we tried a bit of magic and got the balloon to stick to the wall using static electricity... unfortunately they didn't stick long enough to get a photograph but the children were amazed!
Unfortunately for the staff some of the children thought it was great fun to pop the balloons and frightened us all.
