Cardiff University Science Trip

We have very good links with the Science department in Cardiff University and we were very fortunate to be asked again to attend a Science workshop morning. We took all the Year 6 children to the University and they had a great educational morning.
The workshop was run by Cardiff University students, many of whom would like to become teachers, the students had each created a station teaching the children about a Science concept. The children were able to learn about bacteria and viruses and the use of antibiotics. They learnt about how the brain works and classified animals. Learnt how the heart pumped blood around the body to their organs and how to pick up dog poo so their dogs would not become ill from bacteria. It was a fascinating morning and a great opportunity for the children to see what a University is like. Here are some pictures from our morning
