Science Week with our Local Kindy's

  • - (AEST)
  • Mater Dei Catholic Primary School
    Mater Dei Catholic Primary School, ASHGROVE, QLD 4060, Australia
Get Ready to Wonder, Explore and Discover! Come along to a fun and exciting Science Week Storytime Adventure, specially designed for our local Kindy and Prep–Year 2 children! This event is all about sparking curiosity, asking big questions, and discovering how amazing science can be in our everyday world.

Storytime Adventure

We will begin with an engaging and interactive story that connects to this year’s Science Week theme. As we read together, children will be encouraged to:
  • Make predictions (“What do you think will happen next?”)
  • Notice interesting details
  • Share their own ideas and wonderings
The story will help children see how science is all around us—from tiny insects and plants to weather, materials, and the world we live in.

Hands-On Science Fun

After the story, it’s time to become little scientists! Children will rotate through simple, hands-on activities that match the theme. These may include:
  • Observation Stations
    Look closely at objects using magnifying glasses, sort and classify items, and talk about what we notice.
  • Mini Experiments
    Try fun, safe experiments such as mixing, building, or testing to see what happens and why.
  • Create and Make
    Make something to take home—like a simple science craft or model connected to the story and theme.
  • Think Like a Scientist
    Children will be encouraged to ask questions, describe what they see, and share their ideas using simple scientific language.

Why This Event is Special

This experience is designed to:
  • Build curiosity and a love of learning
  • Develop early science skills like observing, predicting, and explaining
  • Encourage creativity, imagination, and teamwork
  • Help children understand that science is for everyone
