Science Week 2023

Our school has been celebrating science week this November! The children have been taking part in captivating and educational experiences all week! These activities, experiments and events were specifically designed to spark curiosity and passion for science among our young learners. We made science fun whilst promoting a deeper understanding of STEM subjects and fostering a lifelong love for learning.

Science Project 2023
The theme for the science project this year was homes. The children were asked to design and create a sustainable home.

Sustainability is about small changes we can make to help look after the planet. Making these changes helps protect animals, plants and our natural resources so that future generations will be able to enjoy them. We all enjoyed looking at the science exhibition on Friday the 24th and all children who took part received a prize!

Thank you to Ms.Monahan for organising and well done to all the children and staff it was a great Science Week!
