In the nursery the children have been exploring their sense of touch.  At our investigation table we have been exploring items in the texture box as well as the texture of some pet items / objects that we use to look after pets in our homes.  This week we are exploring our sense of touch further in the gym hall.  The children were playing with the parachute again and we were travelling lightly and softly and expressing how the parachute felt as we lay under it e.g. light, soft/hard and gentle.  They were working together to keep the parachute flowing.  There was lots of laughter especially when the staff had a little go!
