Science Week
By Jess Langson
National Science Week 2022, which ran during week 6, was a big success with many students having the opportunity to enhance their scientific skills and understanding through fun, hands-on lessons and experiments. Along with the many science lessons that ran across the different grade levels, a group of budding scientists within our year 6 cohort volunteered to create their own science lessons to run with the younger grades.
The year 6 students really shone as they were able to showcase not only their science skills, but also their leadership skills and growing maturity. We would like to congratulate our year 6 scientists for the amazing work they did throughout the week.
Here is a list of our year 6 scientists along with the grades they ‘taught’ and the experiments they ran:
