All About Children- Apollo Drive, Rosedale, Albany

Science, curiosity, and a little bit of magic! 🌪️

Today our tamariki became little scientists as they explored the fascinating world of water vortices.

Using bottles filled with water, the children experimented with different spinning speeds and discovered that a spinning motion could create a vortex, allowing the water to flow more smoothly from one side of the bottle to the other. The excitement on their faces as they watched the swirling water was incredible!

Through this hands-on exploration, children were developing scientific inquiry skills as they observed, predicted, tested their theories, and reflected on what happened. They explored cause and effect, problem-solving, and critical thinking while following their natural curiosity about how the world works.

Not only is this activity filled with rich scientific learning but it’s the learning alongside one another, taking turns, supporting each other, learning new language and having the confidence to try that really matters. Everyday the team at Apollo drive are creating new and exciting learning opportunities for our youngest citizens to develop a lifetime live of learning.

This morning our tamariki have been exploring outdoors with focus! 🌟

They have been making nature faces and getting creative while talking amongst themselves and their teachers 🌱
