• SCIENCE PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION WINNERS

  Thu 05 Jan 2023 Miss McCulloch

  Back in November, Miss McCulloch (Science Lead) launched an exciting photography competition. The theme of the competition was 'THE WEATHER' and the children were challenged to take an interesting and unusual photograph of some aspect of the weather and bring it into school. Astonishingly, we received over 60 entries across the whole school and Miss McCulloch found it incredibly difficult to pick one winner from each year group! Huge congratulations to the following children whose entries did win and they were rewarded with a 'SCEINCE PARTY BAG' as their prize. The party bag contained a book of science experiments that can be done at home and also the resources needed to conduct the experiments. Well done children!
