We had some special visitors from the MaidSafe Foundation. We watched a presentation explaining what STEM was which is what we have been working on in the nursery. They then showed us different pictures about examples of activities we could do like rockets. We created our own honeycomb design to show how part of a plane is made ✈️ We tested this structure to see how strong it was and how much weight it could stand. We put lots of books on top and it still didn’t break. The only way it crushed was with our hands.
We all had a turn at creating our on experiment using boiling water, cold water and salt water. We had to follow instructions to put the gummy bears into these liquids and predict what was going to happen. We also spoke about safety because there was boiling water so Rebecca had to do that water. The next day we evaluated what had happened and spoke about the results. You then created your own evaluations using pictures.
This week we have been unlucky with the weather starting with strong wind then ice. However some of the children took advantage and kept warm by running about and problem solving obstacles in their way,
e.g hands cold – sourced gloves.
Meanwhile staff looked at defining the areas more clearer and encouraging children to explore and further develop knowledge in numeracy and literacy.
Happy Friday everyone we will see you back on Monday☺️💕
