Science Wall - March 2007

In the past few weeks Schools across the area have been involved in a scheme initiated by Wessex Setpoint, based at Bath University. Science Week was set-up to raise awareness of what role Science plays in our lives.

Pupils at St Aldhelm's Primary School asked parents, family and friends in their community about how Science affects their daily routines. Each pupil selected their favourite idea and created a picture to represent it.

Much of the work drew upon topics currently being studied within the curriculum, with daily habits such as boiling a kettle reflecting their work on changing states.
Each class incorporated their pictures into a School display. From the mini beasts drawings created by Reception class. To the more advanced science of Year Five, where one child produced a diagram of a jet engine after talking to a friend of the family who works for the RAF.

St Aldhelm's Science Week project is proudly on display within the school for all to admire!
