Ste exploration
Observation
1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
Watch and listen. Here is a teddy and a spoon. Which one looks squashy? Which one looks firm? Some friends will help us feel.
2 - Hard and Soft ~3 mins
Key point
Today's words: hard means firm and does not squash. soft means squashy.
Will the sponge feel hard or soft? Watch what happens when I try.
3 - Touch Table ~6 mins
At your group's touch tray, squeeze, press and feel each thing. Does it squash, or does it stay firm?
4 - How Does It Feel? ~2 mins
Pick one thing. Press it. Tell a friend: did it squash, or did it stay firm?
