THE appliance of science came to the fire at a festival attended by pupils from Zouch Academy.
Youngsters from the Wavell Road school took part in the White Horse Federation’s (WHF) annual Science Festival which celebrated the topic of forces.
Over 100 children from 14 primary schools, which are all part of WHF, took part in workshops which put their knowledge of forces to the test, culminating in a inter-school competition to build an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and complete challenges.
Workshops were also held by interns from Intel using technology to repair spaceships to explore extra-terrestrial activity in outer space.
Ioana Scanlon, teacher and Key Stage 2 lead at The Croft Primary School in Swindon who has organised the festival, said: “The Festival is now a regular part of the WHF’s calendar of extra added-value activities for schools in the trust. We’re already planning on making 2019’s festival even bigger.”
