Science day

Pinehurst Primary School recently enjoyed a special science day in school.

All the children carried out practical investigations throughout the day, as well as being involved in demonstrations and presentations by a range of guest speakers and scientists.

Once again, they hatched hens eggs and each class had the opportunity to watch and handle the chicks in the incubators and brooding boxes.

Pupils also received a visit from Dylan’s Reptiles who brought along lizards, tortoises and plenty of insects.

The children also learnt how to make ice cream without a freezer and all about chemistry using a cabbage!

Headteacher Mrs Tasker, said: “The children had an inspiring and enjoyable day”.
