Science Day 2026

Science Day 2026

What a busy Burlington Biscuit Bonanza Science Day we have had! Nursery and Reception found out what happens to different biscuits in water. These investigations were great for encouraging the children to start thinking scientifically and draw on their current knowledge to make predictions.  

Year 1 investigated which biscuit is the softest when you add water and Year 2 investigated which biscuit, filled or plain, is the best for dunking!  These investigations encouraged the children to make predictions, think about fair testing, how they could record their results and write a conclusion. 

In the afternoon, each class buddied up with a class at the Junior School to share their results.

Thank you to all the parents who joined us to take part in STEM activities this morning. A special thank you to all the parents who shared their science related jobs and hobbies.

We loved seeing the children wearing science themed tops, and it was great to see our staff taking part too!  Thank you everyone for all your support.

YR, Y1 & Y2 children - Please rememeber to return your Science Quiz to your teacher by Friday 16th January.

Thank you for all your lovely feedback from this morning! 

It's great that after discussion, the children get to think, make a plan and then attempt to execute.

Thank you for organising a lovely morning.  It is great to see the interaction with childen and seeing them so happy.
