Christmas Science Club
Year 7 and 8 students had the opportunity to enjoy some Christmassy Science fun at the end of last term. The club was held at lunchtime and students who participated were able to grow their own crystal snowflakes, make some fake snow and observe silver forming on a copper Christmas tree.

The Science department are intending to hold more themed Science clubs, like this one, throughout the year.
