We encourage children to explore their curiosities and theories relating to Science.  We strive to incorporate Science across the curriculum, linking themes from other topics, events and trips! - Mrs Johnson (Science Lead)

British Science Week 2024 - Time

Time is an important concept across all STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths). Here are some examples of how it is used:

Science Focus Week, Summer 2023

This academic year our focus week was science themed.  

We explored how science is all around us.   

Over the course of the week, each class became immersed in different activities that sought to answer the following questions; 

Monday - How is science in me? 

Tuesday - Which scientific forces are around us? 

Wednesday - How can science be weird and wacky? 

Thursday - How is science in the things we use, wear and eat? 

Friday – How am I a scientist? (Science exhibition and presentation to parents) 

Impact of Science Week

Enthusiasm for science continues to build in our school and amongst school pupils. Many pupils have developed a greater love for science and have aspirations to work in STEM careers in the future.

What our children thought of the week!

Alessia – 2OG

I loved looking at the kettle at home and seeing what happens before and after it boils.

My favourite thing I did in focus week is when we had chocolate and we had to find out why it melted. Then we learnt that our body heat is 36 degrees. After the chocolate melted we got to eat it.

Lewis – 6SC

I enjoyed learning about STEM and the periodic table because I have never heard about this before also, I learnt about how fire works and what it needs to keep burning.

British Science Week 2023

British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths.

This Year’s theme was Connections.

We began the celebrations by holding a whole school assembly on the importance of learning science and we discovered that we are all scientists! Since the day we were born, we have been exploring the world with our senses and building our own ideas about how it works. What do you see and notice about the world around us?

*‘I found out that the food colouring on the skittles move from a high density area to low density area.’ Aliza 2VT

*‘I tested how soap fights germs and bacteria’ Ilinca 2OG

*‘This structure took me only one paper but it’s holding two heavy batteries. That is insane! I think this experiment is fair because there's only one paper and two heavy batteries.’ Vova 5EL

We had the very hard decision of choosing the top five entries to represent Marsh Green in the National British Science Week poster competition. Aren’t they amazing!

The Amazing Digestive System (Bethany 4FK)

Connections Everywhere (Bright 6NB)

The Body ‘Amazing Connections’ (Isabelle 6NB)

How the Internet changed the world (Maksym Pokhna 5AC)

DNA Connect (Deborah 6NB)

A special mention to Gabby in 5EL for an amazing effort with her poster ‘The Inspiring Internet’
