It has been a very busy and exciting week in school as we celebrated Science Week. The children were full of curiosity and enthusiasm, asking questions and exploring the world around them.

Each day began with a daily science question to get everyone thinking. One of the children’s favourite questions was: “What would happen if the sun disappeared?” This led to some fantastic discussions and gave the children a chance to revisit their knowledge from last term’s Space topic. They shared brilliant ideas about light, heat, planets, and what life on Earth might be like without the sun.

Throughout the week, the children took part in a range of investigations. A particular highlight was exploring capillary action in paper. The children made beautiful paper flowers and tested how quickly the petals opened when placed in water. They compared different flower sizes and carefully observed which ones opened the fastest. It was wonderful to see them predicting, testing and discussing their results like real scientists.

Another big event of the week was our annual Science Fair. Children proudly presented their investigations to visitors, and it was fantastic to see so many families come along to support them. There was an amazing range of projects on display – from learning how paper is made, to endless water fountains, measuring heart rate during exercise, slime experiments, hydraulics, cars, and even investigations into mould. Both children and adults were incredibly impressed by the creativity, curiosity and effort that went into each project. It was wonderful to see such a great turnout and so much excitement about science.

We finished Science Week with a special trip to Warwick School, where the children watched a fantastic science show. The show was packed with exciting demonstrations full of pops, bangs and fizzing reactions, which had everyone amazed and laughing. It was a brilliant way to end a week full of discovery and scientific thinking.
