During the day, the whole school took part in an engaging science show centred on food, giving pupils the opportunity to explore scientific concepts linked to what we eat and how science plays a role in everyday life. The interactive session encouraged children to think more deeply about the world around them while making learning both fun and memorable. Later, families joined the school community for a special evening show focused on **rocket science**. The event brought science to life through a series of exciting demonstrations that captured the imagination of children and adults alike. The spectacular experiments were a particular highlight, with plenty of dramatic bangs and bursts of fire helping to create an unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance. As part of the visit, pupils were also introduced to **The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures**, a renowned series designed to inspire young people with a love of science and discovery. Children interested in learning more about science at home were encouraged to explore the lectures and continue their scientific journey. The Science Day provided a fantastic opportunity for pupils and families to learn together, ask questions and experience the wonder of science first-hand. It was a memorable celebration of curiosity, exploration and the excitement of scientific discovery.
