Anyone for Science?

On Tuesday 31st January the whole of St Cuthberts primary school in Englefield Green had a hugely exciting day getting into the world of Science.
The day started off with Year 1 getting to grips with forces in a Bob The Builder themed workshop. Year 2 had a fantastic time learning about pulleys. Pupils loved it when their teacher got lifted up by a pulley! Year 3 learnt about rocks and soils in the morning and pneumatics in the afternoon. Year 4 learnt about electric circuits, year 5 about Cams (rotating and linear motion) and year 6 had a brilliant day learning about control technology.
Teachers commented:
“The engineers are extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and engaged the class for the whole day”.
“The demonstration in the morning reinforced the work done on forces”.
Pupils said:
“I really enjoyed learning what engineers do and I absolutely enjoy learning about energy and how things work”.
“I learnt that it was great fun doing circuits; I also learnt that making a circuit needs a lot of patience; and that your circuit will not work the first time”.
