Science Week 2020

Science Week took place this year from November 8th to 15th. This year’s theme was ‘Science Week – Choosing our Future’. It focused on how science can improve our lives in the present and in the future, how science can help us to make positive choices that will impact the environment, our health, and our quality of life. Changes based on scientific evidence that we make today can hugely improve our future life, but also right now.

Throughout the school children and teachers embraced Science Week with enthusiasm. The children got to experience and enjoy dramatic, exciting and insightful experiments from lava lamps to coke explosions, static electricity to density. We hope this will inspire all pupils for the future.

 Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
