Two Year 5 classes came over to experience a flavour of learning at our Academy by taking part in a science workshop delivered by our staff specialists – Ms Qamar and Ms Payne. The visit was a continuation of the King Edward VI Foundations’ work on fostering links between primary and secondary schools. The children got to further develop their prior learning and experience specialist labs and equipment, by taking part in a bespoke Masterclass on the topic of Space. Students had the opportunity to design, construct, and launch their own rockets to experimentally investigate and the theoretical principles of forces. As you can see from the photos of the sessions, the children enjoyed the experience and their excitement and engagement evident! We look forward to carrying on making links with a range of primary schools in our area and giving students a taste of what secondary school is like in preparation for making school choices in Year 6.
