Curiosity has been contagious here at Amesbury! The children have been asking questions about the world, forming hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, gathering data, forming statements and increasing their understanding of the world they live in. 

With a particular focus on water as a solid, a liquid and a gas and how this applies to the water cycle.
