AWE Science Workshop

Wow! The Year 5 children has an awesome afternoon exploring and experimenting with lots of different materials. The children created their very own flotation device out of corks, lolly sticks and ping pong balls. Our strongest boat held an impressive weight of 270g! The AWE graduates confirmed that this was the best boat in the whole competition - out of 11 schools! Alongside this, the children also conducted a messy slime experiment. Aren't you glad we did this at school?! The graduates loved working with our children and they certainly did us proud and they were incredibly respectful and enthusiastic scientists! It was also lovely to have a visit from our wonderful Mrs Laidlaw who now works with AWE. Well done Year 5!
