Science Week was packed with hands-on learning, real-world science and amazing experiences.  There was such breadth and variety of activities on offer.  Children explored science in action through a wide range of practical activities designed to spark curiosity and deepen understanding. The playground became a launch site as children designed and launched rockets, while elsewhere they learned about the engineering behind bomb disposal and how specialist robots are used to keep people safe.
In the classroom, science came to life in creative and memorable ways. Pupils created colourful DNA bracelets, investigated a germ-ridden crime scene and used real surgical instruments on watermelons, under the guidance of a neurosurgeon, to explore medical science. They also became wildlife detectives, analysing time-lapse photography taken from the on-site forest school, investigated the digestive system, and explored food science by designing and tasting their own bespoke crisps.

      
We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all our amazing parents and STEM volunteers who shared their passion and knowledge with the children and especially to Hester Wheeler and Talia Bywater for arranging and co-ordinating such an incredible week.
