This week the children spent a long time experimenting in our Spices Kitchen – smelling, mixing, pouring and describing as they made some very interesting potions, recipes and concoctions…
Some comments from our Young Cooks & Scientists: “We’re mixing a new potion. Come on, let’s see what colour it makes. Potion No.1 & Potion No.2…” “What happens when you put this in?… It’s turning yellow… now it’s turned orange.”
“How about this? This is going to be the spiciest one ever!” “Smell ours, it’s the tastiest.” “Now we’ve made soup…. and spicy potatoes. They smell yummy!” “Smell the rosemary. I like that.”
“Look at our porridge. Let’s smell it. I like to put cinnamon in my porridge.” “They turn squooshy in the water (oats)… not crunchy.”
If anyone in the family has old/out-of-date spices not needed, please feel free to donate them for further experiments!
Well done to all the boys and girls for their amazing assembly today. We hope all the parents loved it too. Our assembly shared some our learning from this term. We talked about light and dark, the sun and moon, day and night, fireworks, fire safety, 2D shape and 3D objects, poetry and some interesting fireworks vocabulary. We have been very busy!
We have been doing science experiments in Nursery. We have been investigating how water changes from one form to another. We have been very busy, recording, observing, evaluating, analysing,discovering and many more skills including…..patience! Super Heros are trapped in ice. We tried to free them using different materials such as salt, vinegar, sugar and cold water. Which one melted the ice the fastest? We will display the results we recorded in nursery!
Keep up to date with what we're getting up to in nursery!
