The children enjoyed ‘Science Day’ on Tuesday, I hope they talked to you about it. We reorganised the children into groups with children from each class – these groups then rotated around the four classrooms. In each class they explored some different experiments (pictured above)– trying to use pegs to build a bird’s nest but using a peg to represent the bird’s beak, chromatography on ink blotches to solve a mystery, testing fabric for absorption and find the best paper plane design for the longest time in the air. A cornerstone of our curriculum design is to create these cross-age opportunities for collaborative learning. The younger ones benefit from having learning behaviours modelled to them and the older ones have to think about how they adapt language to think of others.
