This year's theme for British Science Week is Curiosity: What's Your Question? The children certainly demonstrated their curiosity during our science day on Wednesday! We started the day with an amazing assembly led by 'Super Sian' from Mad Science, who wowed us with incredible experiments. Thank you to the Friends of St John’s for funding this for us.

Throughout the day, each classroom was turned into a laboratory, investigating a different key question. Our young scientists have been busy experimenting to find the answers to questions such as:

• Do the people with the biggest hands pick up the most sweets?

• How far can a hoop glider fly?

• Which object makes the biggest splash?

• Which biscuit dunks the longest?

• Does toast always land butter side down?

The children absolutely loved getting hands-on with their experiments, and there were lots of excited 'oohs' and 'aahs' echoing around the school as they made brilliant discoveries! 

We’ve also been delighted to hear and see the brilliant science experiments many of our children have been conducting at home. Thank you for supporting your young scientists. It has been great to hear them talking about their discoveries and seeing the wonderful photos and results shared through Google Classroom. Your engagement truly helps bring learning to life.
