PRIMARY OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMME
As part of our Primary Outreach and Engagement programme, Matravers have been running a series of events for Year 5 children from some of our Primary feeder schools.
The first one was just before Christmas and was led by Mr Philips. The students loved learning about rocks and minerals. For many the best part was probably licking the sodium chloride (please don’t try this at home). One unfortunate student even got to touch a fossilised dinosaur poo!
After Christmas, we ran The Wonder of Words. This was a fantastic opportunity for the students to learn about the Shakespeare play, “The Tempest”. Lots of fun was had by all, with the chance to do some drama and learn about the characters from this famous Shakespeare play. The feedback from the students was very positive. One of the most popular activities was the Shakespearian insults but many enjoyed the chance to be creative and design their own Island too.
Most recently was “Perfect Potions”. The students relished the chance to go up to the science lab and plan their own experiment. They had to put bicarbonate of soda into different liquids and see which one produced the best reaction. Most discovered it was vinegar or lemon juice, which is some cases reacted so well, the liquid burst out of the test tube and all over the bench.
Before the end of term, we will host the Matravers Maths Maze and then after the holidays students will get the chance to try a modern foreign language and to do some cooking too.
