Big Bang Science Fair – Last week a group of children from Year 5 and Year 6 attended the Science Fair held at the Excel Arena in East London. The children enjoyed:
Our children talked to staff from various companies and universities:
– staff from the Bloodhound SSC team involved in the World Land Speed Record attempt.
– University of Leicester fossil finding
– Two shows, one of amazing ‘visual’ experiments involving light and another about deep space, from
the University of Plymouth.
It was extremely busy but well worthwhile.
