Week 4 Discovery Time

Another week of fun and team building. This week we are thinking about how sometimes we don't get n with or work well with one person, but there might be an extra person who can join in and make a bridge between us so we can work together. We used the analogy of oil and water, then added soap as the extra friend.
Making snow and playdough from shave foam and baking soda, and shave foam and cornflour.
