This week we spent time discussing how science is all around us and gave lots of examples of scientific discoveries that have made our lives better.

At the end of the week we were lucky to have two scientists come to visit us and enhance our learning. Bethany’s mum answered lots of questions about her work and we were amazed to find out all the different helpful things that lasers can do.

Zoe’s mum is a different kind of scientist and she guided us on an exploration of the Secret Garden. We used descriptive language to talk about similarities and differences and we tried to use field guides to identify some of the trees and other plants.

I LIKE LOOKING CLOSELY AT THE DIFFERENCES.

THIS MIGHT BE EASIER IN SPRING OR SUMMER WHEN THE TREES HAVE MORE LEAVES.

I LEARNED THAT SMALL CREATURES NEED THINGS LIKE THE SNOWDROPS FOR FOOD.

I THINK I COULD BE A SCIENTIST WHEN I GROW UP.
