Maizena, a tipe of flour that can be mixed with water and then we have magic!
And that is what i had done with the kids today, a bit of magic...
If you mix one cup of maizena and half cup of water you'll get a mixture with a funny texture.
If you press the mixture it will be hard but if you grab a bit and then drop, it will be liquid and will slip through the hands.
The goals for this work with maizena are " develop their curiosity and enjoyment, as well as their ability to play and learn, their creative abilities and the ability to convey impressions, thoughts and experiences in many different forms of expression, such as play, pictures, song and music, dance and drama, their understanding of science and relationships in nature, as well as knowledge of plants, animals, and also simple chemical processes and physical phenomena, their ability to distinguish, explore, document, put questions about and talk about science."

"A história das amendoeiras em flor" - 'the history of almond blossom'
Portugal is very different from north to south and I am trying to show a little of all places, the other story from last week was from the north and this one is from the south!
Is a story of a powerful Moorish king who marries a princess of the north but the princess gets sick because she feels the lack of snow. The king decides to plant almond trees and in the spring the flowers of almond stalls on the ground give the idea of snow and the princess is cured.

Today we also went to the recycling place with some children to recycle some plastics. Here in Sweden when you buy a plastic bottles you have some machines that return you the "pant" so we went there for the kids to learn how it works.
