St Luke's pupils celebrate British Science Week
Pupils at a Cambridge school celebrated British Science Week with a host of activities dedicated to exploring the theme of connections.
St Luke’s CofE Primary School held the event as part of a national 10-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
Students from all years enjoyed a day of workshops designed to help them learn more about STEM subjects.
On the day, a host of organisations came along to work with the children, including Marshals Engineering, The British Antarctic Survey and construction company Atkins.
Pupils learned skills including how to take and examine fingerprints, design and make aeroplanes, as well as how to construct bridges and what it’s like being part of a research team in Antarctica.
Organiser Miss Keady McCallum, the school’s science lead, said: “We are so lucky to be part of a thriving STEM community in Cambridge which allows us to offer these rich experiences to our children.
“We wanted to give the children a day where they could explore as many 'connections' as possible and we are delighted with how all the children have engaged.”
Year 6 kickstarted the week by visiting Magdalene College at Cambridge University, experiencing the university community and taking part in discussions about future careers and opportunities in STEM.
Headteacher Beccy Ireland-Curtis said: “We are extremely proud of our approach to STEM subjects at St Luke's.
“We are passionate about introducing every child to the possibilities within this field of study and the impact of this day will be far-reaching.
“We’re really grateful to all those who came in the speak with the pupils.
“It was a fantastic experience and one that will continue to inspire us all in school.”
