Science Week in Nursery

27th Mar 2026

The Nursery children have been exploring the early scientific concepts through hands-on investigation using soil, water, and flowers. They discussed how spring is a time of growth and change, noticing that flowers begin to bloom and that many farm animals, such as lambs and chicks, have babies during this season. The children engaged in sensory play while planting and arranging flowers, developing their understanding that plants are living things that grow in soil and need water and care. They observed colours, textures, and changes as they explored, building key scientific skills such as observation, discussion, and an awareness of growth and life cycles in the natural world.
