Science Week 2024

 Science Week: A Celebration of Curiosity and Collaboration


Last week, our school buzzed with excitement as we celebrated Science Week.

👩‍🔬🥼🧪🔭👨‍🔬 

What made this week truly special was the collaboration between the senior girls and the junior children, as they worked together on engaging experiments and fun activities.

The juniors looked up to the seniors, while the seniors gained confidence and pride in their ability to teach and inspire. The laughter, the gasps of surprise, and the cheers of success were a testament to the magic of learning together.

As the week wrapped up, the whole school  agreed: Science Week wasn’t just an educational experience—it was a celebration of curiosity, creativity, and connection. Here's to more shared moments of discovery in the future!
