Crazy Christmas Science: It's SNOWING... in Class 5


We had fun this morning when it snowed in Class 5! We enjoyed it so much we visited other classes to show them our experiment.



Mr Short writes: it was interesting today, whilst setting up our experiment I asked the children to draw a picture of a scientist. Without exception every child drew a picture of a middle aged man, with crazy hair and glasses - and no, it wasn't me! We discussed reasons for not drawing a picture of a woman or someone younger. We decided that we shouldn't be put off science or anything else that people might not expect us to do because of our age and gender.

We need to improve the image of science, and computing, in general and it is really good to hear that Class 5 are having these positive types of discussions.
