This is a lovely way to incorporate nursery rhymes into the theme.

I would choose the activity the sun and the shadows as I think it is an interesting and practical lesson.
We would engage in the book mood bear and his shadow as a class. Explore and question how shadows get bigger and smaller and what causes this. We would then use the challenge cards and pose more challenge to the children. Outside we would in the morning use the position of the sun to draw a childs shadow and come back later in the day and redraw to show how the childs shadow has moved due to the position of the sun.

This is a lovely activity to use chalk for.

I think this is an interesting experiment as it teaches the children to learn and find their answers through exploration.

An inquiry lesson I have completed is making a volcano erupt in a bottle. The children work together to make predictions in groups. You take a bottle and mix water, soap, food colouring and vinegar. Then add baking soda and add it slowly into the bottle. The children they watch the volcano erupt and see the process of eruption.
Children can consolidate their learning by asking and posing questions to other groups in the classroom. They can then write up their findings and check if their predictions were correct. The now understand the concept of eruption properly.
