Laboratory work on science fortnight

The pupils have been celebrating Science fortnight by engaging in thrilling experiments which have heightened their curiosity of Science in the world around them. Year 3 and 4 pupils had a wonderful opportunity to visit Oathall Secondary to work with Year 8 and Year 11 pupils on ‘Forensic Science.’

This is the first time the primary students experienced what it is like to be in a real science laboratory. Their enthusiasm was plain to see and they gained greater scientific knowledge, some of whom had never heard of Forensics before! Year 1 to Year 6 pupils carried out different experiments in their classrooms. Some of these experiments included: ‘Dancing Raisins,’ ‘Jellyfish in a Bottle,’ ‘Fireworks in a Jar’ and many more.

As a school we a very keen to value the importance of Science and to help children form questions which creates a sense of ‘awe and wonder.’
