Year 8 Science Wizards

Science Wizards is an after school Science Club which is open exclusively to Yr 8 pupils. The aim of Science Wizards is to develop pupils love and interest in science, participating in fun practical activities. This year pupils had a busy time with lots of activities, including; taking part in balloon races, finding out ‘Who Dunnit?’ and enjoying a visit from Pet Connection. A big thank you to Nathan Aziz, Meaghan King, John McAleer, Shauna McCabe and Amy O’Connor; the Year 13 pupils who volunteered every week to help with Science Club

Pupils teamed up to design a balloon and wings which would win a knock-out competition. And the winner is……The Terminator!!!
