Cornflour Gloop

Cornflour Gloop

 

Cornflour gloop is a classic sensory play activity in the early years. There’s a very good reason for this – it’s so much fun! It’s unique texture and qualities helps children to engage their all their senses, encourages inquisitiveness and helps develop their skills or concentration.

 

You will need:

  • Cornflour
  • Water,
  • A bowl or tray

You can also add:

  • Food colouring
  • Different smells (I like to add peppermint essence for extra sensory benefits)
  • Spoons, whisks etc.

 

This YouTube video shows you what to do.

Have fun!

Thomas Jolyffe Primary School is determined for all pupils to succeed. Since the previous inspection, many changes have been made. The school has prioritised the development of the curriculum to promote high expectations for all pupils. Staff invest in pupils to build positive relationships with them. Personal development is a strength. The school provides opportunities to enrich pupils’ experiences. Pupils value participating in sporting competitions, such as cross country, football and netball. They also take on positions of responsibility, including school councillors and inclusion champions. Pupils value the leadership skills that they are developing. The school has developed an inclusive environment, where all pupils participate in every aspect of school life. Recently, the school has had a new library. The pupils are very proud of it and say, ‘It is a reading wonderland. It is like walking into another world.’ (OFSTED April 2024)
