Year 2 had an amazing time on our class trip to Imagine That! Throughout the day, we took part in lots of exciting hands-on activities. We made slime, painted our own magnets, and even created dry snow, which everyone loved experimenting with. We also enjoyed exploring the role-play area, where Read more
Year 5 enjoyed an exciting visit to Newhouse Academy today, where they took part in a hands-on science lesson all about chemical reactions. During the session, the children worked like real scientists, using a range of laboratory equipment to carry out experiments and observe how different substances react when combined. Read more
Today, Year 5 Juniper visited Newhouse Academy to carry out some science experiments with Miss Dawson. The children got a coach journey up to Newhouse where they were greeted with Miss Dawson. We then went to one of the science laboratories where the children were given an introduction to what Read more
