WAU
Miss Reynold's introduced P4A to their new WAU topic today. They had to use their senses to explore items hidden in a sack to guess what they would be learning about! They were able to work out that they would be exploring 'Oceans!' They then worked together to complete a KWL grid to decide what they would like to learn about oceans and how they would like to learn! They also shared some ocean facts they already knew!
