Thinking Loft June 2011 Holidays Workshops
Submitted by ThinkingLoft
It’s holidays time again! And as a parent myself, I have already started to look at fun yet educational activities I can do with my daughter.
At the same time, I have also designed three different holidays workshops catered to different age groups and interest during the holidays.
Thinking Loft Kitchen Science – the kitchen is such a wonderful fertile ground to stimulate the natural curiosity in children. And all children love tinkering with pots and pans and flour and generally making a mess! I have therefore designed a 90min workshop whereby children get to bake their own cupcakes from scratch and at the same time be guided to think about why baking sodas is added into the cupcake dough. To help them arrive at their own conclusion, we will also be doing a side science experiment using what else but baking soda!
Thinking Loft Fun Science – this year, we are still on the topic of optical illusion. But this time round, the children will be making their own periscopes! And along the way, they will be explore the various properties of light and conduct their own experiments to find out what is transparent, translucent, opaque and reflective.
Introducing Maths Symbols – this is designed specifically for preschoolers. Through kinaesthetic procedures, children will learn to create their own visual models (eg. venn diagram) to model the mathematical relationships between numbers and the relationships between numbers and symbols.
