Early Years/Reception Science Homeworks | STEM  These are a series of science activities we sent home to our Receptin cohort to encourage them to engage in science learning with their families. They proved to be a big hit with both children and parents and we got lots of photos, writing and pictures brought in the show what they had done.
A series of short films making it fun, easy and cheap to do science experiments.

Even if the weather isn't calling for snow outdoors, we can make our own homemade fluffy snow slime recipe indoors! Plus this one isn't nearly as cold and you don't need mittens to handle it. Our fluffy slime recipe is by far the coolest slime recipe we love to make. I just had to make a snowball fluffy slime to go along with our melting snowman slime. It's a slime addiction. #fluffyslimerecipe #fluffyslime #slime #slimerecipe #DIYslime
