Science Week 2023 (Mr F)

The Westfield Science Week has been in full swing this week.

The main event for the week has been the visit of The Plane Guy to the school with his working Coyote II aircraft.

Andre, The Plane Guy, has been explaining how the aircraft works, and how the different control surfaces on the vehicle effect the way that it moves through the air.

"I liked going inside the plane and learning how the flaps worked."

"I liked that when we moved the lever in the plane the elevators at the back moved"

Pupils, staff and even parents have enjoyed the opportunity to sit behind the controls of the aircraft.

We also had our paper aeroplane competition, with planes being entered into three main categories: furthest distance, longest flight time and most creative design.

The winners in each category will be announced in assembly this Friday.

There has also been a wealth of science taking place throughout the school thiss week, from joining in with live lessons from the science museum, to experiments with light, and even some dissections!

We can't wait to do it all again next year,

Mr Fenton
