British Science Week is a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths. This year Science Week is all about GROWTH. Children from Nursery to Year 6 have designed their own investigations and experiments. They have had the opportunity to create their own greenhouse or complete a range of activities around growth.
One of the greatest forces of nature is in the palm of our hand and on Friday 12th March, children took part in a Fabulous Flames workshop, which really started Science Week off with a BANG! Our Science Boffin worked with fire in ways our children had never before seen – conducting flaming experiments to wow, amaze and educate on the power and the dangers of humankind’s greatest discovery.
On Thursday 17th March, the children explored jobs within biology, chemistry, physics and STEM, learning about the exciting jobs our very own school community takes part in every day. Meeting and talking to real life dental nurses, researchers, epidemiologist, engineers and radiographers, brought science to life! You can see more on the last page of the newsletter. Thank you to the Friends of DKH for funding the Science Boffin Workshop and to our school.
