Watching 3year olds playing with water!

When water was  found in the playground Caleb found it a wonderful opportunity to fill all the containers with water and transfer them to the sandpit. He returned to the same play again this week and others joined in too. 

Mitchell and Kathy helped Claeb to fill the trolley with the containers and then they noticed the water was coming out of  the trolley. They followed the water path...

...Mitchell saw the water flow down the drain and then found another use for the containers of water!

They poured the water into the drain and followed the flow until it stopped.

The small group were engaged in the play for quite some time as they found space to explore on their own  but at the same time follow one anothers lead.

This is typical of 3 year old play, finding out about their world. Working alongside each other through shared experiences is providing the children with a growing sense of belonging.
