Children explored and talked about what we do in the morning and what we do at night time, sometimes our actions are the same as what we do in the morning as too what we do at night time., like brushing our teeth. We explored the story owl babies and children got to create their own owl babies using malable material and feathers and using gross movement and cotton wool created their own owlets.
