The children had great fun experimenting with different magnets to complete tasks such as: - Moving a coin through a maze - Rescuing a paper clip from a plastic container - Seeing if they could make a compass spin all the way around These activities helped pupils apply their knowledge of magnetism and forces in creative ways, reinforcing key scientific concepts through practical investigation. At St. Bede’s Catholic Primary School, we love making science interactive and engaging, inspiring curiosity and problem-solving skills in every child.
