This week we have been learning all about fish! 🐟 We explored what makes an animal a fish and talked about their special features, such as gills, fins and scales. The children also investigated buoyancy by testing different objects to see which ones float, just like a fish in water! We had lots of fun making predictions, exploring and learning through play. 🌊✨
