British Science Week
During British Science week pupils had the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills through the theme of 'Change and Adapt'. Pupils took part in a variety of activities and then presented them to the whole school in our own Science Fair. We are immensely proud that we are inspiring STEM individuals of the future and raising aspirations.
CREST Superstar Awards
Our brilliant scientists in Keystage 2 earned CREST Superstar awards by carrying out a series of problem-solving in STEM challenges. Children had the opportunity to learn through hands-on challenges by exploring the world around them. Congratulations!
Great Science Share For Schools
Children across school excelled in finding the answers to their own scientific questions in the Great Science Share for Schools. Pupils practised skills of measuring, observing, recording and presenting results and interpreting data. Class teachers were completely delighted with their understanding and progression in skills.
The Wildlife Trusts 30 Days Wild
Pupils have enjoyed taking part in 30 Days Wild, The Wildlife Trusts' annual nature challenge, where they ask the nation to do one 'wild' thing a day every day throughout June. Classes have completed random acts of wildness such as reading non-fiction science books outside and making artwork from natural objects.
Virtual Workshops and Visitors
Our science curriculum has been enriched by workshops and visitors this year. All cohorts have been inspired by experts and developed in their knowledge and science skills.
