P2s also researched famous female scientists from the past, and told the P1s and nursery class about how they challenged discrimination and made huge contributions to science. We are very glad that women and girls are not excluded from science any more, the girls and the boys in this class love getting hands on and exploring our world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"387\" height=\"425\" data-id=\"2549\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163043\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163043\/image-10.png 387w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163043\/image-10-273x300.png 273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"448\" data-id=\"2548\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163023\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163023\/image-9.png 475w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163023\/image-9-300x283.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"379\" height=\"430\" data-id=\"2546\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11162811\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11162811\/image-7.png 379w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11162811\/image-7-264x300.png 264w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"387\" height=\"503\" data-id=\"2550\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163059\/image-11.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163059\/image-11.png 387w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163059\/image-11-231x300.png 231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"346\" height=\"507\" data-id=\"2551\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163120\/image-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163120\/image-12.png 346w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163120\/image-12-205x300.png 205w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"559\" height=\"478\" data-id=\"2552\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163907\/image-13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163907\/image-13.png 559w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/longridge1\/uploads\/sites\/7865\/2026\/03\/11163907\/image-13-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>P2\/1 are enjoying Science Week so far.
