Year 5 enjoyed a Science workshop this morning. They learnt about chemical reactions and the colour of acids and alkalines on the pH scale. They learnt how to make a 'polymer' (also known as slime!)

As part of Science Week, Year 6 investigated how their body contains tiny machines called ‘proteins’. Proteins are made of smaller building blocks, called amino acids that form long chains. They built their own chains, and then explored how their order and shape makes them ‘bind’ with other molecules and therefore determines how they work.
