December 2023 Science Stars
An amazing amount of science learning and experiences have been taking place this half term. Staff and children alike have been developing their Science Capital, working scientifically and questioning and thinking like scientists. Of course, science really is everywhere. Mrs. Woodley proudly presents the Science Stars for this half term.
