This week throughout the nursery, the children took part in Science Experiment Week. The children used a variety of materials to test their ideas, develop their thinking skills, and explore how different experiments work through hands-on learning experiences.

In the baby room, the children explored light and colour by creating their own colourful sensory bottles. They then investigated the cause and effect of light by using the light table in the sensory room to see how the colours and materials changed when illuminated. Through this activity, the children developed their sensory awareness, curiosity, and early understanding of colour and light while strengthening their fine motor skills as they filled and explored the bottles.

In the toddler room, the children learned about static electricity. They experimented with balloons on different materials to discover which objects would move and interact with the balloon after it had been rubbed. The children enjoyed observing how static worked and tested their own ideas and predictions. This activity encouraged problem-solving, curiosity, and early scientific thinking while also supporting communication and turn-taking skills.

In the preschool room, the children explored floating and sinking. They searched for a variety of objects around the room and made predictions about whether the objects would float or sink before testing them in water. The children learned to compare and investigate different materials while developing their understanding of prediction, observation, and simple scientific concepts. This activity also encouraged critical thinking, teamwork, and language development as the children discussed their ideas and results together.
