Mini Scientists



What a fantastic week we have had. RN have explored, investigated and questioned why and how things work. The children have really enjoyed every bit of science week and so have I.

We explored how and why shadows occur. Then we looked at our shadows and used various play equipments to make shadows too.

The children enjoyed studying our class fish and snails to see the various body parts. They especially enjoyed watching the animals as they ate to find out if they had teeth.


To add to that, we investigated what materials were attracted to magnets. The children were challenged to build a marble run that would make the marble travel the slowest. They liked this alot.



To top all of this off, we were treated to an excellent science show about gravity, magnetism and forces. The children had a blast and two of our reception children offered a helping hand to the show. Well done to the both of them and to all the children for being keen scientists!
