Exciting Science at St Paul’s

February 20, 2013

Pictured above is Paul Mc Crory from ‘Learn Differently’, delivering a Key Stage 2 show to pupils from our local primary schools.

Paul Mc Crory from ‘Learn Differently’, in collaboration with Queen’s University in Belfast, came to St Paul’s last week, to deliver an exciting road show entitled ‘Chemical Connections’ for our Year 8 pupils. The show involved a series of interactive experiments which the pupils are able to try at home. Each show lasted for an hour and everyone had a brilliant time.

As part of our Shared Education Programme (SEP), Paul also did a Key Stage 2 show for our local primary school pupils. It is a pleasure to have them visit our school and we hope they enjoyed the experience.
