Mini Scientists

During Science Day, Reception and Nursery explored changes and materials by mixing different ingredients to make slime. The children loved getting messy while mixing, squeezing and stretching the slime and used some fantastic language to describe what they could see and feel. The EYFS slime stall at the Science Fayre was very popular!
