A SCHOOL came together to celebrate science with a special day of projects.

Pupils from every year at Cambridge Primary School in Barrow joined together to take part in British Science Week activities.

The theme for the day was "journeys", with pupils and teachers learning about important scientific journeys.

That meant activities ranged from learning about the Three Little Pigs, aeroplanes and how sneezes spread.

There was also a focus on the journeys boats can take, with pupils putting together their own sensational sail boats.

Adrian Lett, science subject leader at the school said was excited by the day.

He said: "It was about celebrating science and encouraging children to explore science in a number of ways.

"We were trying to think about different journeys in science.

"We wanted to encourage children to look at the science that is around them.

"There were so many interesting projects each year group took part in."

Mr Lett also praised the children for uniting towards science on the activity day.

He said: "All the year groups in the school took part and that was really nice to see.

"It was perhaps the best part of the day.

"It felt there was a real buzz of science around the school.

"I think the children really enjoyed working on the practical activities."

British Science Week, run by the British Science Association is a 10-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths.

It features entertaining and engaging events and activities across the UK for people of all ages.

As part of the exploration of the journey of sneezing, the Year Sixes explored how germs could spread between people.

Having taken part in the packed of scientific fun, the pupils then joined up for a special assembly.

They gathered together to present their creations from the activities in front of the rest of the school.

Cambridge Primary School, in Cambridge Street, has 240 pupils.

Last month pupils from the school took part in a community litter pick.

The mini police pupils from the school were joined by council official and Police Community Support Officer as they cleaned up the area around their school.

Headteacher Jenny Lavery said: “We want to show the children real change is possible through little actions like the litter pick."
