Years 4, 5 and 6 carried on from a superlative Science Week with a superb visit to the British West Indies Collegiate School. Year 3 had been visited by two of their pupils during Science Week.
Head of Science, Mrs Nicola Haynes, welcomed the children and introduced them to Science at KS3 and 4. The children had the opportunity to see what the fantastic laboratories at the school are like and carried out their own scientific investigation.
Using Bunsen burners for the very first time and a range of chemicals, the children learned the different coloured flames metals produce when burned. They also learned lots about the etiquette of working in a laboratory and even got to quiz a few A-level pupils on what it’s like to learn science at such a high level.
It was a spectacular scientific afternoon and Mrs Haynes was a wonderful science teacher! Thank you for allowing us to visit.
