Try and get a few different types of objects that float - even if it is only for a little while -(sponges, cork, empty tissue box) available for the children to test. don't forget paper boats from yesterday!

Place them into a washing up bowl (or similar) and watch what happens - keep stating whether each item floats or sinks and sort them into 2 piles - things that float and things that sink.

Watch the video of the story 'Peace at Last,' by Jill Murphy. Ask the children what they did yesterday, what have they done so far today, what will they do next? What will they do tomorrow?

Draw a picture of something they did this morning and then another picture of something they will do tonight.

Superwrite! (Your children know what this is!!!) Look at the picture below. Ask your child to say what they can see. Talk about what might be happening.
