The staff, parents and pupils of Leswalt Primary enjoyed an afternoon of Science as part of\u00a0our British Science Week celebration.<\/p>\n

British Science Week runs from 9th<\/sup>-16th<\/sup> March and is designed to raise awareness of all things Science-y and encourage boys and girls to hone their investigative skills.<\/p>\n

The Leswalt Primary pupils worked on a range of Science tasks; Magic Ink to Poo from the Past, Coding with Lego WeDo to bird nest building, programming the Mouse Maze to Electrical Circuits to name but a few! Parents enjoyed working on these with pupils too. Creating \u2018poo\u2019 for a Science experiment \u2013 what\u2019s not to like!<\/p>\n

Parents and pupils go stuck into the activities with great gusto – having a shot at the many STEM (Science, Technology, Maths and Engineering) activities on offer. It was a very busy but fun afternoon. One mum was amazed at how quickly the time flew!<\/p>\n

Fun Science activities, all working together and raising awareness of important ecological issues equals a very successful afternoon\u2019s learning. Watch out for those future scientists!<\/p>\n
