SCIENCE DAY - 20th March 2013
The whole school enjoyed a wonderful day; thanks to Knutsford Sci-Bar. There were a wide variety of exciting activities taking place throughout the day and the hall was converted into a science fair with a planetarium, live owls, paper aeroplanes, rocket to the moon, optical illusions and much more!
The children were involved in a wide range of activities including: space talks, launching big rockets across the field, mini rockets powered by alka-seltzer, investigating magnetism and discovering the complexities of circulation & respiration by the use of balloons! The Spinney was put to good use investigating mini-beasts with the guidance of staff from Lower Moss Wood.
Our youngest children discovered the art of bread making with the support of Roberts Bakery, investigated the five senses and had a fascinating insight into reptiles.
They held frogs, lizards and snakes; kindly brought from the Manchester Museum by Dr Andrew Gray.
A huge thank you to Dave Thompson for co-ordinating the successful day.
As one Year 3 child was heard to say 'it was the best day ever!'
