Children watch the teacher move everyday objects, act out each motion with their bodies, and decide whether it is a push or a pull. In pairs, they then find one…
Children touch, tap and gently bend everyday classroom objects to decide whether each one is made of wood, metal, plastic or paper, then sort them into groups. They practise observing…
