Science Week spectacular

What an amazing Science Week we have had at St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School’, each year group being challenged with a different science topic and the results were simply amazing, extremely interesting and sometimes spectacular in their design. The week culminated in a Science Fair where the children demonstrated and showed their wonderful projects to the parents that were able to join us. Mrs. Sproates, our Science Lead, expressed her thanks and how impressed she was with the amount of effort and imagination the children all put into their projects.

Across the school projects included rockets that could be launched and fly, bug hotels, habitats for real or imaginary animals, effects of light on surfaces, fossils, respiratory and circulatory systems, periscopes and suspension bridges.

Studies show that teaching others what you have learnt yourself can help you work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Our wonderful children not only learnt more by showing, explaining and answering questions from their peers, the younger year groups also learnt in an easy and engaging way.

Every day is a school day after all!
