In nursery we have a Curiosity Box which during the year has a variety of different items in for the children to look at, and wonder about. These items will be things the children may not have seen before and we will be asking them the questions “I wonder what it is? I wonder what it does” and recording their answers.
In Autumn 1 are currently exploring a disposable camera.
