You may wish to complete an entry for the British Science week Poster Competition being run by the School Council. Please send your entry into school by the 23rd of March. School Council will be judging the competition and sending off the top 5 entries from across the school. We will be awarding a certificate and Dojos to each class winner and prizes to the overall EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 winners. These will be submitted with the top 2 runners up for the National competition where big prizes are on offer.
The theme of this year’s competition is ‘Connections’. This could be about exploring how our body parts are all connected and work together, the connection between our actions and the impact on our environment, how internet connection has changed the world, or how snow days are connected to the water cycle?
Click this link for further details about the national competition. There is also a Power Point on the Year 5 File Share, which may help with other ideas.
