Two Discovery Science Workshops took place in local schools yesterday: Holy Trinity School in Guildford and West Hill School in Leatherhead. Over 250 pupils across the two schools participated. The pupils at Holy Trinity learnt about electrical circuits and building water rockets. The Science Day at Holy Trinity School was kindly sponsored by Counsellor Brett-Warburton. Meanwhile the students at West Hill School took part in a K’nex Structure Challenge in which they had to build and create towers using K’nex and their engineering knowledge in a time limit of 50 minutes.
The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the activities and learnt an awful lot. One pupil said “I see science in a better way now. It made me feel excited and eager about science today.” A teacher commented “The children
benefited in so many ways. There were so many links to the
curriculum. An amazing day!”
The K’nex challenge was sponsored by Exxon Mobil and we were delighted to welcome from the organisation Sophie Foale, Community Affairs Adviser.
