Science Squad launched at Elmridge

Elmridge Primary School has launched a new ‘KS2 Science Squad’ who worked with Science Lead, Miss Aspinwall, to plan for British Science Week (8 – 17 March). The Squad also took part in a STEM competition run by Smallpeice Trust. The educational charity inspires young people to pursue careers in science and engineering through events and workshops. For over 50 years, they have been giving young people everything they need to fuel their passion for engineering. It all started with their founder, Dr Cosby Smallpeice, a brilliant engineer who invented the Smallpeice Lathe. Elmridge pupils were tasked with creating a model rocket. Children learnt all about forces required to launch a rocket, created a model rocket and then had a fantastic session on how to create sustainable aircrafts for the future.
