This week we celebrated the varied and magical subject of Science Week!!!

Science Week is invaluable in childcare because it fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills through hands-on activities. It introduces children to STEM concepts, enhancing their foundational skills for future learning. Engaging in science promotes language development and encourages social interaction and collaboration among peers.

The week nurtures creativity and imagination, helps build confidence through successful projects, and connects learning to real-life scenarios. Additionally, it raises awareness of healthy habits and environmental care. Overall, celebrating Science Week in childcare creates an enriching environment that encourages a lifelong passion for learning and discovery.

We themed the week on many of the different habitats, where endangered and at-risk animals live, as the theme for science week has been Species Survival. We had beautiful discussions of how to keep our animals and environment safe and healthy.

The week had so many inquiry opportunities and discussion moments, and it was a great week for helping our friends become effective learners.
