Science Day

We had a fantastic science afternoon last Friday 4th November, welcoming our parents to join us in our investigations. Fantastic learning across school included; exploring ice, investigating shadows, testing materials, making sandcastles, fireworks in a jar, acting out the circulatory system and exploring owl pellets! It was great to see so many parents joining in with the science activities and finding out about the amazing science learning which takes place across school.
