FUN WITH SCIENCE @ SOUTH FARNHAM PRIMARY

Last Thursday, over 120 pupils from South Farnham Primary School took part in a SATRO Discovery Science Workshop. The days activity was Circuit Detectives.  This workshop requires the children to inspect various circuits and find the faults. They consolidated new knowledge in a fun way whilst building on team-working skills. This workshop, designed to inspire young people about the fun of science and encourage them to continue their science-related studies into secondary school and beyond, was well received by both pupils and teachers. With pupils commenting...

"It has shown me a whole new career that I could have and shown me a lot more about science..."

"This activity has made me feel better with the topic science and I hope you realise you're a super group of engineers and scientists. Thank you."

"I feel way more confident with circuits and it was fascinating to learn about the different circuit symbols and the ways circuits can fail and be checked. Thank you so much for your time."

PUPILS LEARN TO PROGRAM WITH LEGO @ ST MARY'S

Today, around 75 pupils from St Mary's Primary in Chiddingfold are going to be participating in our innovative LEGO WeDo workshop. Pupils will work in pairs to design, engineer and program robots using LEGO bricks, a computer, a motor and other special elements. Pupils will learn to incorporate tilt and motion sensors into their designs. They will then test their initial designs and programming; after reflecting on what did or did not work, they will learn to consult with peers, adapt their programming and adjust their designs.
