Children across our schools have become budding scientists while carrying out experiments and making discoveries as part of British Science Week. 

The national event is a ten‑day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths, which took place between 6th and 15th March. Trust pupils and staff used the week as an opportunity to take part in a number of science activities throughout the week. 

Bradshaw Primary School had a bubble theme, with Reception children exploring why bubbles are always round, testing their own junk‑model bubble wands, and showing off their bubble‑floating skills. 

Year 5 put their scientific skills to the test to create a bubble that lasted an impressive 32 seconds! Meanwhile, Year 6 had great fun investigating bubble mixtures by experimenting with washing‑up liquid, glycerine and sugar to create extra‑strong, super‑stretchy bubbles. 

Year 1 also learnt about Jane Goodall as part of British Science Week. They even practised their own observation skills by spotting “chimpanzees” around the school. 

At Westbrook Old Hall Primary School, children took part in science‑themed activities. Class 5 watched the BBC Bitesize live lesson, which took pupils on a mission to learn about the moon. They completed activities as part of the mission log and enjoyed becoming ‘experts’ on the moon and light sources. 

At Park Road Community Primary School, the classrooms were buzzing with excitement as children explored, investigated and became real scientists! 

From hands‑on experiments to brilliant problem‑solving challenges, everyone across the Trust showed fantastic curiosity and creativity during British Science Week.
