The week began with Science Boffin Kieran running an assembly packed with ‘wow’ investigations! We experienced the wonders of dry ice and watched in amazement as Kieran transformed a liquid into a solid in seconds using a powder called Sodium Polyacrylate!
We were lucky enough to have a number of workshops across KS1 and KS2 run by a lady called Clare McLoughlin from the Royal Astronomical Society. Clare ran Science and Humanities investigations based on designing and constructing various outer space habitats for Aliens and Astronauts. We also learnt some amazing facts about life in Space and the mission of Tim Peake during a Space Travel assembly.
Children and adults in the EYFS rounded the week off with a morning of planting in Milkwood Park with some members of the local community. We used everything we had learnt this term about the life-cycle of a seed to talk about what we might see each time we visited the park! The week concluded with a sharing assembly in which the children had the opportunity to showcase the work they had done during the week and to celebrate their love of Science and Humanities.
