Today, a programme of exciting science workshops were held at Hurst Green Infant School in Oxted.
60 children took part in this event, in
which they learnt about different aspects of science and technology - and how
it works in the world around them. A SATRO team of engineering experts
were on hand to guide the pupils through the interactive workshops. The
Pulleys activity provided an opportunity for the Year 1 pupils to be introduced Forces with a demonstration of how
a pulley rig can lift a heavy object. Using the theme of 'Incy
Wincy spider' the children made winding mechanisms to pull their spider
up a Pringles tube drainpipe. Meanwhile, Year 2 explored movement
through push and pull forces and how these work in everyday life, but
particularly related to different playground equipment. The children made
roundabouts, swings and slides to illustrate how forces make objects move.
This event was very kindly funded by Cllr Nick Skellett.
