Science Week 2024


We thoroughly enjoyed our fantastic Science Week, organised by Mrs Rose. We loved the opportunities to get together as a whole school, taking on challenges, workshops and competitions that involved everyone from Nursery to Year 6!      

 

The week of term saw us taking part in a variety of challenges, workshops and activities, including:

  • Our amazing Science Fair, which included ten stations covering everything from fingerprinting to bridge building and chemistry tests!
  • Our Egg Drop Challenge, building a contraption that could safely transport an egg from the roof to the floor. 
  • Workshops with Falconry UK, learning about (and meeting) owls, hawks, eagles and even a kookaburra. 
  • The K’nex Challenge, where we worked in pairs to build buggies that could carry cuddly bears down a ramp and across our classrooms. 
  • Sessions with the Dogs Trust, where we learnt how to stay safe around all kinds of dogs.
 

As you can probably tell, it was a really busy week, packed with fab opportunities to learn about science and what it means to be a scientist.

 

"Subject leaders have thought carefully about how pupils build their knowledge and skills over time from early years to Year 6. They have developed highly consistent planning and methods of delivery that help pupils learn well over time."
