🔬🌱 Science Week at Family Day Care! 🌱🔬
National Science Week 2026 (15-23 August) is on, and our educators are embracing opportunities for children to explore, investigate and experience wonder about the world around them.
Take a look at this beautiful learning experience below from our wonderful educator Belinda:
"This years theme is 'Seeds of Science' and today our theme is 'Earth and Country'. We are stepping outside for messy mud play, studying the texture of native Australian plants and seeds while learning about caring for Country and sustainability.
The photos are of our experience that encourages our little learners to analyse textures of native leaves, bark and seed pods as they press them into play dough. We also searched for the names of our Australian plants and names in Bundjalung and practiced saying them. One little learner created a face from the nature items naming the parts of the face as they created (eyes, ears, etc)."
