Royal Institution 

We have been incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to join in with three fantastic performances led by the Royal Institution. KS1 and KS2 took part in an explosive food performance where they learned about the journey of food through the digestive system, and investigated chemical reactions, how energy is stored and burned by our bodies and the nutrition that is needed for us to survive. Later in the afternoon, we then hosted a community show where parents, and students from Our Lady’s were invited in to explore physics in action. We investigated forces such as friction and gravity and joined in with many amazing experiments. We had the most amazing day! The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and there has been lots of scientific discussions going on around the school since!
