The week started off with a variety of challenges in Science lessons across all cohorts. Students designed catapults, constructed gravity defying toothpick towers, created the biggest bubble in the Bubbleology competition and made "Oobleck" a non-Newtonian fluid.

During lunch, the "Minute To Win It" Balloon Blast and Stick the Landing competitions fostered a sense of friendly rivalry as students enagaged in lighthearted showdowns against their peers. Additionally, these spirited contests provided a fun and energising break from the academic routine.

The highlight of the week was the inaugural Astronomy Evening where students from John Therry Catholic College and St Gregorys’s College joined us to participate in a range of activities including star wheels, cosmic art, constellation lamps, building moon rovers and participtaing in astronomy trivia. The night was enhanced by space experts from Bintel who brought advanced telescopes for the students to use whilst sharing their immense knowledge about space and technology. 

This past week has been an amazing opportunity for students to take part in so many hands on experiments which have helped them develop a deeper appreciation for the incredible world of science.

We are eagerly counting down the days until next year’s Science Week, where even more exciting and unforgettable experiences await us.
