Science Week Begins

October 18, 2016
Science Week began with a bang as 'Mad Science' led the school assembly; creating fireballs, squeezing eggs through tight spaces and building excitement amongst all of our pupils. The children then had the opportunity to work with our guest scientists to discuss chemical and physical changes. Every child was able to take part in an experiment and create their own slime by mixing a variety of materials together. In the afternoon they also had the opportunity to work in a number of different classrooms and take part in some fantastic experiments (keep an eye out for blogs about them later in the week). It was a fantastic start to what will be a great week!
