A lovely holiday club today - gardening, pond-dipping, rockets and Easter egg decorating 👌🏻
Happy Easter everyone! Time for a rest 😴

A brilliant way to end the Y3 unit on bones, joints and muscles, the children dissected a chicken wing and were able to identify the muscles, bones, tendons and blood vessels that make up this joint! 👌🏻😀

It’s that time again! New committee members incoming! It’s Y5s turn to be replaced but with 27 applicants it’s a very tough job to get! We started with a practical interview and a building challenge - 12 finalists are through to the interview stage tomorrow!

A beautiful day for Bubble mixture testing at family lab 🫧

Best science club ever! We investigated the effects of brown vs. white sugar on a cookie recipe! The results were delicious 🤤
And we learnt about the difference in the sugars and why the brown sugars were more moist and tastier! 😊

Outdoor volcanos today with EYFS for British Science Week We built 5 volcanos and added 1,2,3,4 or 5 teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate to each one - we then added vinegar and timed how long they took to erupt! 🌋

Today we set up a ‘fair test’ in the lab with Year 3 - investigating the question ‘Will adding fruit to our jelly make it take longer to set?’ - watch this space for our results! British Science Week

Kicking off our ‘sugar coated’ Science Week with Year 4 investigating what ingredients make the perfect honeycomb! British Science Week

Willy Wonka and friends absolutely loved their sherbet making lab session today to celebrate World Book Day! 😂👌🏻📕 #WorldBookDay2024

The clouds didn’t stop our star-gazing evening tonight! The children still learnt lots about space, planets, stars, the moon and sun and learned how a telescope works! Thanks to NNHS Astronomy and friends for a great evening!

We ran a brilliant coding and 3D printing club over half term - these are the wonderful results from the day - children used Tinkercad to design their own key rings and we printed them on our Ultimaker 3D printer! 👌🏻🤩 #Engineering #3Dprinted

Science club tonight was wild! Colour mixing using spinners - so easy to make these with marbles, blu-tac and old CDs! Give it a try ❤️ #scienceclub #colours #Primaryschool

When someone brings their fire-loving Dad to Family Lab! 👀🔥

On our way to Ignite! Festival of Science and Curiosity today in Nottingham! Watch this space for updates later 🤩

Science club exploring Dry Ice today - just look at these faces! Scientists in the making and at the heart of everything we do here at Lab_13 👌🏻 #scienceclub #primary #curious

Do you know someone who home educates their child? We have some last minute spots on an exciting Dry Ice workshop next Weds 7th Feb - exploring states of matter - exclusively for home educators to access Lab_13! Contact [email protected] for info

Todays #wellywednesday we made our own fabric dyes from red cabbage, beetroot, lemon juice and turmeric! Creating these beautiful African sunset images to tie in with the EYFS topic exploring Africa - Outdoor learning at its best! #OutdoorAdventures

Testing out some more brilliant MyScienceClub resources - making glue! I can not tell you how engaged the children were with this, it was one of those lessons that just ran perfectly!
