We have had a fantastic time this week taking part in British Science Week. We started by finding out what makes a super scientist in a special assembly. We then spent some of our learning time designing a poster around the theme of “Change and Adapt” for a competition.

On Tuesday, we all enjoyed our Science Federation Afternoon where each of our classes worked with a class from the Juniors on an activity. Year R worked with Year 5 to create their own animal to survive in a specific environment. The Year 1s worked with Year 4 children to explore “Amazing Animal Adaptations”, completing a matching activity and researching their own animals. Year 2 went over to the Junior School to investigate how coins have changed over time using magnets; they certainly had great fun

discovering things around the classroom that were magnetic too!

During the rest of the week, the children have been given various opportunities to explore a variety of activities around the theme of “Change and Adapt”, including a Mystery Baby Photo Quiz where children had to be detectives to try and work out which adults that work in our school are pictured as babies.

The whole Federation was also challenged to create a human graph,

investigating the average height of a child in their class and then creating a life-sized cut out to demonstrate how children at Westfields Federation grow from Year R to Year 6.

It has been a super Science Week and we hope it has inspired some scientists of the future!
