Innovation and invention

Monday, 18 March, 2013 - 09:00 to Friday, 22 March, 2013 - 15:15

Linking with our local industrial museum children will be taking part in workshops linked to the invention of the 'Makey Makey'. With some of the funding from National Science & Engingeering Week fund we are purchasing some for the school and our local museum is also purchasing some. Linked to the workshops the year 6 in class will be doing a project linked to Makey Makey's that will be showcased at the museum. Alongside this workshop/projects will be mini-projects across the whole school linked to innovation and invention where children will take part in some fun experiments.
