STEM BUS 3M
3M loved their visit to the STEM bus. They were learning about how dirty water is cleaned. The children used different materials to filter dirty water and they ranked their different materials. They discovered that some materials were good for filtering large...
Science week
Across the week we built our own volcano then used a recipe of mintos and coke to create our own volcanic eruption. We were also lucky to have the STEM bus visit us where we explored the surface of the moon, with moon boots.
Science Week : Moon Boots
The children in nursery listened to the story Whatever Next, we then went outside and made our own moon boots to go to the moon. They were quite tricky to balance on and the children showed great resilience and determination to keep trying and balance....
STEM fun
We had a brilliant time visiting the STEM bus, dissecting daffodils and identifying the different key parts (stem, petals and stamen). We then were able to group them according to their parts and investigate them under a microscope and whilst using magnifying glasses.
Science Week : Pollution
The children in nursery listened to the story Clean Up, learning all about pollution. We then went to save the water animals formt he plastic pollution in our water tray.
Science Week – Skittle Rainbows 🌈
The children in nursery were experimenting with colour and water. First they made a circle with the skittles and carefully added water. The children observed the colours draining from the skittles to create a rainbow effect. It was great fun! 🌈
Looking after our environment
We were inspired by our story ‘clean up’ to go out and clean up our own environment to take care of the animals and nature.
Science Week – Hot Chocolate Stirrers
To start our week of experiments, the children in nursery made chocolate stirrers for all the lovely mams as a special gift Mothers Day. We discussed how the chocolate was originally a solid but when we melted it, it became a liquid. The children counted out 5...
