We had a great morning celebrating Science Week during our stay and learn session. We made some experiments, looked at how the colours change. We enjoyed making the life cycle of the butterflies and string telephones.

Caring for our pets 🐶🐾
In expedition this week we have been thinking about how we care for living things. In our crew session this morning the children thought about what a dog needs to be happy and healthy. They came up with some great ideas. 💡 Great team work skills too! 😁
Reception’s Celebration of Learning
Today the children in EYFS celebrated all the fantastic learning that has taken place during their latest expedition titled ‘How do things grow and change?’. This was perfectly timed with this week also being National Science Week.
Over the Spring term the children have taken part in three different case studies exploring how humans, plants and animals develop over time. We worked hard learning about what we need to know and do to keep our bodies healthy and how to best care for other living things so that they can grow too.
At our celebration event parents and carers enjoyed creating cress seed plants with the children before moving on to look at the beautiful work in their learning journals.
At the end of the session children were able to take home their final product which is a personalised daffodil plant and a length of ribbon cut to their height at the start of the expedition. It was amazing to investigate whether the children have grown since we created the ribbons during Hook Week.
The Celebration of Learning this afternoon was a wonderful way to close a fantastic expedition and a brilliant opportunity to praise our smart and hard working children.
Science Week and Celebration of Learning in Nursery.
Science week went hand in hand with the culmination of our expedition on “How do things grow and change?” So we combined the two celebrations and it was great! The children show cased and shared their learning and beautiful work with their families. Together they experimented with planting cress heads and making bird feeders.
The children shared their learning journeys displaying work from over three case studies which were as follows; How can I help my body to grow? What happens when we plant a seed? And What happens to animals as they grow?
And took home their final products, a Daffodil in a hand decorated pot, tied with a ribbon of their size at the beginning of the expedition. Just look at our beautiful work!
Kindness is everything 💞
Today a little girl in Class 1 chose to make something for another child in our class, something she knew he would like. She made him smile so widely and it really touched my heart. Be kind, always xx
Stay and Investigate
As part of our celebrations for Science Week, we invited our adults to investigate with us! We followed instructions to make slime, planted our own sunflower seeds to take care of, made and tested cup phones and recreated the life cycle of a butterfly.
Thank you to all of the grown ups who joined us to become scientists for the morning.
