🛰️🚀Blast off! ✈️

Our children had an amazing time exploring our very own space station! They learned about astronauts, rockets, NASA, spacesuits and life in space, while using their imaginations to operate levers, switches and the control room. 🛰️

🌱💧 Little Scientists at Work! 🔬

Today, our children explored how water interacts with soil, sand, and stones. They poured, mixed, observed, and discovered that soil can absorb and hold water just like plants need to help them grow! 🌿

Through this hands-on experiment, the children developed their observation, prediction, and cause and effect skills while learning about the world around them.

🥁🪘what a magical morning for our pre-schoolers🥁🎼🏫

Children had such a lovely time visiting @kcscambridge today! They had so much fun singing and dancing along to Dingle Dangle Scarecrow, explored different rhythms and enjoying drumming.
Our little ones came back to nursery absolutely buzzing with excitement! They couldn't wait to show their teachers all the new techniques they learned!

🍂🍁🥔🪏- have you harvested all your vegies yet?!

In the forest, we harvested the potatoes that had been planted last year. The children worked collaboratively in small groups to collect the potatoes and place them into their team buckets. They explored different ways of digging and harvesting, using trowels, forks, sticks and their hands to carefully uncover and collect the potatoes.
