πŸ”¬πŸŒŸ Science Week 2026 πŸŒŸπŸ”¬

12th Mar 2026
What an incredible week of curiosity, creativity, and discovery we’ve had as we celebrated Science Week! πŸ§ͺ
Our pupils took part in a huge range of exciting experiments and STEM challenges, all designed to spark imagination and inspire budding young scientists.

In Foundation Stage, pupils explored colourful and sensory investigations, including building a rainbow 🌈 and taking part in the magic milk experiment while in Key Stage 1, pupils got adventurous with bouncy egg experiments πŸ₯š and egg‑drop challenges. 

Meanwhile, Key Stage 2 pupils were busy exploring science through both fun and topic-linked investigations. They enjoyed making their own ice cream 🍦, creating walking rainbows🌈, and carrying out floating and sinking experiments βš“ connected to their Titanic topic.

One of the highlights of the week was our School Councillor’s Science Gadget Shop πŸ›οΈπŸ”§, which was a huge success and extremely popular with pupils from all year groups. It added an extra buzz of excitement to an already fantastic week!

We are so proud of the enthusiasm, teamwork, and scientific thinking shown by all our pupils. Their joy and curiosity made Science Week truly special πŸŒπŸ’‘β€οΈ.

Well done to everyone involved—here’s to many more discoveries ahead! πŸ”¬πŸ‘πŸŒŸ
