All pupils got to enjoy a range of activities promoting Science in the real world as part of our Science Day (or few days!).  Our aim was to celebrate Science and encourage children to see how science features in our everyday lives.  The children researched famous scientists, from the very well-known (for example Stephen Hawking, Leonardo de Vinci) to the less well-known but equally vital (for example Stephanie Kwolek, Margaret Hamilton). Each year group had a special investigation to undertake covering a very wide range of subjects: Murder Mystery chromatography in Year 6, creating straw rockets in Year 5, planting 'pants'  to look at soil quality in Year 4 and testing reaction times with 'sheep' herding in Year 3.   We were also lucky enough to welcome an army of volunteers to talk about their own work and how science helps them and must extend our thanks to all who came.  The children heard from a diverse array of professions including an astronomer, ecologist, cancer trial scientist, engineer and data scientist and Year 6 had help from Costello students with their investigation work. To top it off a fiendish quiz led to much debate and prizes!
