Appliance of science at Aston school

Students at Springwood Junior Academy, Aston went dressed as people who used science in their job.

They got hands on with experiments and watched chemical reactions in a special assembly.

Some pupils presented mini projects demonstrating science in action, like baking bread and hatching caterpillars.

Associate principal Cathryn Keaton said: “The children have really enjoyed what they are learning and exploring.

“Some are even saying they now want to be scientists when they grow up.

“It has been a fantastic day and the children have learnt so much, while enjoying themselves, too.”
