notification of tidying up.

5. Possible Interests Web:
Small group experience (circle) to confirm interest in the topic:(describe
all parts of your circle)
Table sets with the water and flavour and a bowl in front of children. I ask
children to takes the small dixie cup and measure the flavour and dump it in the
bowl in front of them and then use the same cup to measure the water and this
time they need to dump the water in the bowl and by using their hand their hand
they mix the material as the child R describe that he is making the glue. In the

6. other hand child H said I want the colour in it and she start mixing it. That was the
goop that group of children in the table.
Procedure:
 Flavour
 Water
 Small Dixie cups
 Bowl
 Food colouring
 Table and chair
Evaluation and Reflection:
NOW THAT YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS GROUP EXPERIENCE
(CIRCLE):
How did it go? ARE THE CHILDREN STILL INTERESTED IN THE TOPIC?
The group experience went very and children show their excitement while one of
the children was doing the experience and the other was asking “can I do it.”In
the other hand during experience children was interested about how is the
process of changing from flavour and water to a goop.

7. WILL THE INQUIRY PROCESS WORK WITH THIS TOPIC? WHY
OR WHY NOT?
Inquiry process will work for this topic because:
 The variety of material and equipment are easily access
 There are many different result for one experiment
 Each child can have own perception about material
 The second web provide opportunity for lots of different experiences
.

8. Rationale:
By observing children in sequence and speaking with them in the circle and
making the web I obtain that the children are interested to the baking and its
process.
Your children are curiousabout baking and in a few following weeks; they will
have many opportunities to follow their interest about baking with many supervise
activities and develop their understanding of baking process and this is the inner
part if pre-schoolers’ development. You will be surprised about what children
know about the subject what they will learn through the process.
In this a few week children will:
Measuring, pouring, dumping, mixing
Classifying, sorting, adding, shaping
Colour, drawing, painting, their ideas
Compering the differences in their product and the row material
Learn about occupations
Comprehend and share ideas.
We will post evidence and samples of our work. Please check in often.
