The week commencing Monday 9th March it is science week!

The week commencing Monday 9th March it is science week and we are learning around the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Next week we will take part in lots of different experiments and fun science investigations. The reception children will write predictions to explain what they think will happen before we take part in the rainbow eruption experiment and the nursery children will draw pictures of rainbows. We will design,create and test out waterproof capes for Red Riding Hood to wear in the rain. We will also be taking part in planting and cooking activities so that we can observe and talk about changes over time.

There will be lots of other Little Red Riding Hood and science themed activities for the children to access independently as well as all of our other areas of continuous provision. They can write using the invisible ink, explore floating and sinking, and investigate with magnets and circuits. The children are fantastic at showing love, respect and friendship towards others as they learn through their play. They continue to believe in themselves and each other, and achieve so much everyday!
