Hands-On Fun to wrap up February

26th Feb 2026

To wrap up February we rolled up our sleeves for some messy, hands-on fun! The children followed a step-by-step recipe to craft their very own blue playdough.

This was so much more than just playtime. Our young learners explored:

  • Literacy: Reading, following and writing instructions.
  • Math: Measuring out ingredients like flour, salt, oil and water.
  • Science: Discovering the "magic" of chemistry as separate ingredients transformed into a brand-new texture!
