For the past two years, the children have enjoyed being involved in a whole school Science Week. They have participated in lots of fun activities developing their scientific curiosity, knowledge and skills. As part of Science Week in 2023, we entered the national competition 'If you were an engineer, what would you do?' This amazing initiative, encouraged the children to discover what it means to be an engineer, look at examples of historic and famous engineers and then designed their own invention to be entered into the competition. As part of the week, we also welcomed Megan into school, who is a software engineer and works for Thales. She shared with us how she loves her job because she gets to do lots of problem solving and working in a team. Megan builds sonar systems for submarines. She presented informative assemblies to the children inspiring our future engineers.
We are very proud to share that we had a number of national winners from our school who attended the awards ceremony at Edge Hill University. Congratulations, Jack, Albie, Adam, Naomi, Amara and Archie for your brilliant ideas and well-presented designs. A very special congratulations to Jack who was chosen by the judges as the overall winner of the night!
