British Science Week - 2019

British Science Week 

This week, St George's have celebrated British Science Week 2019. In doing so, children throughout the school have taken part in various science activities and collaborated with different year groups. Year 1 were very lucky to pair up with Year 6 and so each Year 1 class had 15 Year 6 children come to their class on Thursday afternoon to join them in completing experiements. Each class completed two out of the four following experiements. Slippery slopes - children had to pour different liquids down a slope to test how fast or slow each liquid moved. Floating journey - children had to choose suitable materials to make a boat which would float and last in water. Tunnel engineers - children had to experiment with different materials to make a tunnel in the sand. Make it fly - children had to make helicopters, gliders and planes out of paper and see how far they could make each one fly. All children had a fantastic afternoon with the Year 6 children and said how much they enjoyed the experience. A big thank you to the Year 6 children for coming down to lower site to work with us in Year 1. The children were an excellent support for the younger children and showed excellent respect. Well done Year 1 for your fantastic science knowledge and working so hard.
