Prep Science Corner March 20th

Prep Science Corner - British Science Week

We’ve been celebrating British Science Month in serious style!

This week, the girls unleashed their creativity across the full STEAM spectrum—producing brilliant STEAM style sketches inspired by a variety of design briefs, and even crafting incredible costumes from recycled materials. Along the way, they learned about Fast Fashion and its environmental impact, discovering how thoughtful choices can help protect our planet.

Their creativity didn’t stop there: several pupils have also entered a national competition organised by the University of Southampton, showcasing their innovative ideas on a bigger stage.

We can’t wait to announce our winners and runners up next week!

British Science Month

Science got a little boom tastic in Year 5 this week!

Prep Science Corner - Y5 Explosions

Our budding experimenters set out to answer life’s big question: why do things explode? With goggles on and giggles ready, they mixed, shook, and squeezed their way through reactions—then gleefully captured the chaos in a plastic bag.

From suspenseful bubbling to that glorious POP, it was messy, marvellous, and full of “Did you see that?!” moments.

Exploration + excitement = the perfect science combo!
