Some of the exciting things that we will be getting up to this week include making a zipline for toys, shrinking eggs and making water walk.

The Science Bus has arrived! Actually it's not really a bus but it IS crammed full of exciting science experiments and all the children will be visiting it over the next two days as part of our activities for British Science Week. Ask your little professors about it when they get home!
