Exploring Science at Scienceworks
We visited Scienceworks, where the Mr5&9 engaged in hands-on exhibits that encouraged curiosity, prediction and investigation.
The boys explored cause and effect, made observations and shared discoveries as they experimented and tested ideas.
In the Little People’s Play Zone, Mr 5 moved confidently between activities, returning to favourites (the fly scarves) and engaging in imaginative play with peers. H
In the Sports Section, Mr 9 participated in physical challenges, developing coordination, timing and focus as he practised kicking and handballing with persistence.
At the light exhibit, children explored colour, reflection and movement, noticing how light changes when moved closer, further away or combined. In the sound area, they explored vibration and volume, noticing differences in loudness and feeling sound through touch.
Throughout the experience, children demonstrated strong skills in observation, problem-solving, communication and critical thinking, while supporting and learning from one another.
