Science Club

A new project successfully introduced this year has been the Year 5 after-school science club. Over a period of 30 weeks approximately 90 pupils from Brackenwood Junior School, Higher Bebington Juniors, Stanton Road Primary School and Poulton Lancelyn Primary School have been involved in science classes that have been enterprising, educational but above all great fun!

Each session has been led by Miss Woods and Miss Clements, two of our science teachers, along with volunteers from our student body. The range of activities that the pupils have experienced have as far as possible been in line with the current Key Stage 2 curriculum and have included building spaghetti towers, creating miniature hot air balloons, preparing power point presentations on the solar system and using microscopes to look at head lice! The children have not used any dangerous chemicals or equipment and have been supervised throughout.

Wirral Grammar Boys continues to provide support and information to parents of Year 5 and Year 6 pupils to help to prepare them for the transition to secondary education.

Those children taking part in the after school clubs have already commented how much they like coming into school, meeting the older students and being taught by our staff and they feel comfortable that this care and education will continue throughout their secondary education.
