Today at Haysholm the children and young people enjoyed taking part in a Sensory Science Fair.  Mrs Mair organised this in partnership with Science teachers from our cluster school Irvine Royal.  In the morning activities in the Science Marketplace included; Making slime, magnets, making lava lamps, tuning forks and making sounds with beakers, fire extinguisher experiment, static electricity, bath bombs, balloon rockets and giant bubbles.  Mrs Brisbane also organised a super science sensory story in the pink room called ‘Why?’

In the afternoon classes did a Science Carousel where pupils had an opportunity to rotate around classrooms and explore a variety of experiments devised by the teachers.  Everybody has had a lot of fun and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
