St Clare's Science Ambassadors

 

This year, we are extremely lucky to have 10 children from year 6 who are representing our school as science ambassadors. Their role involves participating in the science teaching and learning around the school, as well as; 

  • attending meetings to discuss how to improve science in our school

  • helping to plan exciting science events

  • delivering presentations, shows or assemblies about science

  • supporting younger children in their science lessons

  • looking after the science equipment and resources in the school

  • helping to engage families in science events and challenges

  • reporting on the latest science in the news

  • attending science events at other schools and locations

Our Ambassadors have a brilliant year ahead of them and we look forward to sharing our learning here with you. 

 

Monitoring Science Displays

As part of our roles and duties as Science Ambassadors, we have monitored the science displays around the school to ensure that each class has their non-negotiables up on display. These include; a wonder wall - where we can ask questions around our current topic, enquiry type logos - which show us the type of enquiry we will be focusing on during that unit of work, key words and our science vision and principles. We enjoyed feeding back our findings to the teachers, and will continue to monitor the displays throughout the year.

Science in the Wider Community 

Our Science Ambassadors recently visited the Recycle for Greater Manchester (R4GM) Visitor Centre to discover what really happens to our waste and how recycling works in practice. As part of our school action plan—aligning with our commitments to eco-sustainability, climate awareness, community engagement, and the wider world—the pupils explored the fascinating, high-tech journeys our discarded materials take. Through interactive activities and direct observation, they gained first-hand insight into waste reduction, the environmental impact of single-use plastics, and the vital role of circular economies. Equipped with new knowledge and inspiration, our ambassadors are excited to share their learnings with the entire school community, leading the charge on local eco-initiatives and empowering everyone to build a greener, more sustainable future.
