FRIDAY SCIENCE SLAM

Three weeks of learning the Nature of Science came to an explosive end  today.  We put all our new knowledge into some fabulous activities for the whole school to enjoy. We then had a whistle stop tour to see what the other classes had been doing too. THANKS TO OUR AWESOME SENIOR STUDENTS YOU WERE BRILLIANT

Researching and writing about scientists

Today we had  a challenge to work in pairs to research and write about scientists, to show how their work done many years ago still has impact on our lives today.

Following a brief

Our team had to come up with some engaging activities for the rest of the school. Finn created a cool game,  Evie created a space for magnetic art, this was a great learning station!
