STEM Week
Nursery have had a very exciting STEM week alongside the rest of the school. They have been investigating lots of STEM questions, and then reporting back their findings to their friends. They have explored floating and sinking, weighing and balancing, freezing and melting, colour changing and have built numerous models and machines with our construction toys. What a lot of clever scientists and engineers we have!
