Pipes
Dear Parents
As our unit on buildings comes to an end, we have introduced the last topic related to our study which was Pipes. Exploration and Investigation is the main focus of the Creative Curriculum and this week we allowed our student to do just this! We began by asking, “what do we know about pipes?” Children shared their ideas on what they are, their uses, and where we can find them. The words tubes, cylinder, hollow, water system came up.
On Tuesday, we made a list together of the places you might find pipes and what their function might be. We asked questions such as "Are they for water or something else?", "Do they bring water in or take water out?", and “Are they for clean water or dirty water?"
We then proceeded to investigate pipes in our school. Children were in charge of finding pipes, taking pictures, and discuss about their uses.
Children have been working together in the different centers using item related to this unit: big pipes in blocks, small pipes in toys and games, pipe cleaners in play dough, and a fun sand activity in Discovery.
We will continue our preparation for Art Show, alongside the celebration of Earth Week!
