British Science Week
This week is British Science Week and we will be having a school wide focus on science and this year’s theme – connections. Dr. Osborne has planned some great activities for the children!
Have a look at some of the experiment ideas below. We would love to see any that you try at home. Please send them to Mrs. Osborne using the year 6 email box (year4@almondhill.herts.sch.uk) With your parent’s permission, we may even feature them in our newsletter! Remember to speak to your adults at home if you are using scissors or other resources.

Research Champions : Child friendly stories of real scientists and their amazing discoveries.
'What do you imagine when you’re asked what a scientist looks like? Are you picturing lab coats, goggles and conical flasks? How about the person? Are they a White man with grey hair, who resembles Albert Einstein?
If that’s who you pictured – you aren’t alone. But it’s something that we want to change!'
