What we've been up to in Prep!

The Preps had a wonderful time at Ecolinc on Friday. We got to become scientists and use magnifying glasses to hunt for minibeasts in water and in compost. We got to search for minibeasts in their wetland area and then build our own minibeast. Here are the photos from our Ecolinc excursion on Friday:

Last week was Science Week. We did some experiments throughout the week and got to see 'Dancing Raisins' and 'Dancing Sprinkles'.
