On Thursday 22nd June, the Prep School hall came to life with the annual Year 6 Science Fair.

Over the previous weeks, the children worked in teams and conducted science investigations of their own choosing. They then created displays of their findings.

As always, there was a fantastic array of interesting questions, such as:

• What is the most effective ingredients in sun cream?
• How does the pH of different types of milk vary?
• Does the brand of food affect our perception of taste?
• What is the best drink to have after eating chilli?
• Does listening to music affect our reaction times?
• Do different paints alter the burning time of wood?

To name but a few!

Well done to everyone who took part and congratulations to the overall winners.
