‘Rain, rain, go away’ is something we rarely say in Nursery!  In fact, we love to play in the rain!

Can you remember what you need to do before heading out in the rain?

• boots on
• raincoat on
• zip up
• hood up

That’s it!  Now you’re ready to play in the rain!

I wonder how many of those things you can you do all by yourself?

Why not have a go at learning the flip trick for putting on your coat?  Have a look at this short youtube video and then have a go yourself…

Would you believe it, but we actually made rainbow rain in the garden this week! We set up the guttering to catch the raindrops as they fell from the covered roof, then we added sprinklings of different coloured powder paint.

The children helped to make the rainbow rain by carefully pouring extra water from the water tray into the guttering using jugs, buckets and cups.  We all watched in amazement as the paint colours mixed together and the rainbow rain rushed down the guttering making beautiful puddles on the ground!

We only had red, yellow and blue paint.  Can you remember how we made the orange puddles?  And how about the purple puddles?  What happened when we sprinkled the blue and yellow paint into the rain?

If you would like to find out more about mixing colours, why not have a look at this youtube video.  Maybe you could have a go at mixing some colours at home?

Even the dinosaurs came out to explore our rainbow rain!

Of course, we had a plenty of dry days in the garden too this week and sometimes it was still mild enough that we didn’t even need to put our coats on!

We hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, see you on Monday!
