British Science Week

During British Science Week, pupils across KS2 visited the science rooms at lunchtime to explore the week’s theme and spark their curiosity through hands-on activities. Children asked questions, tested ideas and worked together to investigate how science works in the real world. We experimented with different shapes to discover which boats float best, explored which paper aeroplane designs fly the furthest, and even fine-tuned paper rockets to improve their flight. It was a fantastic opportunity for pupils to investigate, problem-solve and develop their love of science.
