Science Week is back!

This year we are celebrating British Science Week, the week commencing 20th March. This year’s theme is ‘Connection’s’.

We will be launching Science Week to the children through a Science Assembly this Friday (17th) led by ‘Fun Science’ leader Sue Hayward.

Throughout Science Week we will be learning about connections through the topic of animals and living things. We will have caterpillars, butterflies, tadpoles, hatching chicks and even have lambs visit us from a local farm.

We are also very lucky to have visitors in school, including a doctor, ecologist and 3 local Secondary School teachers coming to share their passion for science through some highly engaging science lessons for pupils in KS2.

In Year 6 pupils will be exploring a range of science resources and equipment, kindly on loan by parent Mr Whitehead and his company Lascells Ltd.

We really are very excited about all the science due to take place.

Eco Council Project

Get set… we’re taking part in Sustran’s Big Walk and Wheel 2023; the UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge. The challenge starts next week runs for two weeks from Monday 20^th March – Friday 31^st March. It’s free and we would love everyone to be involved.

What do you need to do?

Encourage your child(ren) to walk, scoot or cycle to school on as many days as possible during the event.  The Eco Council will be logging our numbers for each day of this national challenge.

We understand that it may be more difficult for some pupils to take part than others for example those at Breakfast Club or who live further away from school.

Why we are taking part

Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel is a great way to build physical activity and wellbeing in children’s daily routine and a active school-runs also help to reduce congestion and air pollution outside the school gates.  Plus there are some great prizes to be won every day if we get enough children taking part!
