OTTERHAM Primary School recently held a Science Wow Week, culminating on Friday, March 18.

Family and friends were invited to experience a wide range of scientific activities, held over a week, along with the pupils and staff of the school.

Specific scientific topics were concentrated on, including: separating materials, animal classification, part of plants, magnetism, body parts and shadow puppets; this allowed an insight into a range of science.

The Science Wow Week was supported by the science department at Sir James Smith’s School, Camelford, led by Andy Garner and students, Annalisa Jernqvist, Emma Davey and Sam Bradley, who came along to demonstrate some science to the pupils.

The school also paid a visit to Paignton Zoo, where workshops were held explaining the nature of habitats and adaptations.

Finally, there was a visit from a mobile planetarium, which taught the children about Space, light and sound, which the children enjoyed very much.

Overall, the Science Wow Week was fun and interesting, and everyone had a fantastic time.
