Science Workshop

March 14, 2025/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

Science Workshop in KS2 with Selin.

We were once again treated to another fantastic set of workshops with Selin which the children in KS2 thoroughly enjoyed and learned a great deal from.

Year 3 used rainbow paper to draw science related pictures. They learnt about chromatography and also used magnets, sieves and sand shovels to separate marbles, lego and toy tyres as a way of sorting objects.

Year 4 mixed tonic water and flour to make glow in the dark pictures. They learned that the quinine in the tonic water glows under a UV light, by mixing it with the flour.

Year 5 made mud cake! They had to think of a range of ingredients for making a cake and why they needed them. They then had to judge how much of each ingredient was needed to mix them together to create the tastiest mug cake.

Year 6 learnt about viruses and their shapes. After that the children created their own viruses using lego.

Thank you Selin for making science so interesting for the children.
