Mother Nature
On 12 March, pupils across the school took part in an exciting and interactive science assembly delivered by Mother Nature, an external provider.
The session brought science to life through a range of engaging demonstrations. Pupils explored key scientific concepts including vibrations and air pressure, seeing first-hand why a balloon moves in the opposite direction when released. They were fascinated by experiments involving bubbles, learning how different sizes and shapes can be created.
The assembly also introduced pupils to elements of chemistry, including how flames can be produced using different chemicals and the science behind how they work.
The session was highly engaging, with pupils eagerly participating, asking questions and showing great enthusiasm for science. It provided a memorable experience that helped deepen their understanding of scientific concepts in a fun and practical way.
Following the Mother Nature assembly, pupils took part in hands-on science workshops led by their representative.
Children explored non-Newtonian fluids using a cornflour and water mixture, observing how it becomes solid under pressure but flows like a liquid when handled gently. They also made their own slime, learning about the chemistry behind the materials used.
The workshops were engaging and provided a fun opportunity for pupils to explore science through practical investigation.
