This week, Year 6 have started weekly visits to Allerton High School to carry out practical investigations using the laboratories there.  We got off to a good start by learning about laboratory expectations and the safe use of the Bunsen burner.  We also burnt some steel wool and wondered at the resulting “firework like” sparkles. As well as being a great Science opportunity, this is also a good transition activity to help the year 6s feel more confident about moving to high school.
