Science Week at St Andrew’s
Science Week brought great activity and excitement to the school this week.
Years 5 and 6 enjoyed a session on astronomy in a mobile Astrodome. This planetarium projects over 18,000 stars together with models, music and moving picture views of the planets – a unique way to teach this subject in a stimulating environment.
Later in the week, all parts of the school joined Safari Pete and his family of lizards, owls, snakes, spiders and a crocodile. Some of the children were brave enough to handle the exhibits! His passion for animals and conservation was a super example for the children.
Encouraged by a lovely poem from Eleanor Davies-Gilbert (below), Mrs Stokes, Head of Nursery and Pre-Prep, agreed to allow the children to bring their pets in for an afternoon. In trying to photograph the canine gathering, I was reminded that one should never attempt to work with children and animals!
All in all a fun, exciting and educational week for all.
I think it would be cool
If I brought my pet into school
My class could bring theirs too
It would be a really lovely way
To learn, have fun and play
Please Mrs Stokes can we have a Pet Day?
