Upcoming Event

A Day Packed with Discovery

Our enrichment day is specifically designed for children aged 7-11, aligning with the KS2 science curriculum and providing an unforgettable exploration of biology, chemistry, and physics. Here’s what your child can look forward to:

Plant Biology: “The Secret Life of Plants”

The day will begin with a deep dive into the world of plants. Students will explore the structure of flowers through hands-on dissection, identifying key parts such as the stamens, pistils, and petals. They will also get creative with a pollination simulation, using craft materials to mimic how bees transfer pollen between flowers. This session will highlight the importance of biodiversity and the vital role plants play in our ecosystem.

Chemistry: “Fizz, Bang, Pop!”

Next up, students will don their scientist hats to explore chemical reactions with everyday household items. They will build baking soda and vinegar volcanoes, creating fizzy eruptions that showcase the power of carbon dioxide. Using pH paper, they will also experiment with acids and alkalis, learning how chemistry applies to the world around them. This session will not only be educational but also full of giggles and gasps of wonder!

Physics: “Forces in Action”

After a quick break, it will be time to investigate forces and motion with balloon rockets. Using balloons, string, and straws, students will create their own rockets and experiment with variables like balloon size and launch angle. They will observe how forces such as air resistance and gravity affect their rockets’ speed and distance. This hands-on activity will encourage teamwork and critical thinking.

Hands-on Science

The afternoon promises to be an exhilarating dive into science in action! Children will unleash their creativity and curiosity as they experiment with slime-making, construct impressive structures, and engage in a variety of hands-on investigations designed to spark their sense of awe and wonder. This dynamic session will leave them inspired, excited, and hungry to explore the amazing world of science!

Celebrating Success

The day will wrap up with a fun and interactive science quiz, testing the students on what they’ve learned throughout the sessions. Each child will receive a certificate of completion to celebrate their achievements, along with a note of encouragement to keep exploring and questioning the world around them.

Why Events Like This Matter

Enrichment days like these not only deepen students’ understanding of scientific concepts but also foster essential skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity. By connecting science to real-world applications, we aim to show children that learning is not only important but also incredibly fun.
