We have really enjoyed our Science activities this week. Everyone has been doing lots of practical enquiries to find out scientific facts . There are lots of great scientists in our school!
We have also been lucky enough to have a visiting science show which demonstrated the science of the circus and Galileo's great mistake which included lots of explosions, which the children loved.
