Science Week takes over Croydon High

As last week was Science Week, we saw many pupils take part in the activities which ranged from squid dissections, extracting DNA from strawberries, and making parachutes.

There were also some internal competitions. Year 7 pupils were invited to create a ‘Science in a Shoebox’ which saw some really varied and creative entries.

The treasure hunt for ducks proved very popular with both staff and pupils. Over 100 small ducks were hidden around school and the grounds and pupils got house points for finding them.

The final event was to find who could throw a paper aeroplane made from 1 piece of A4 the furthest.

Science staff would like to thank all pupils and staff for taking part in these activities. Winners will be announced at the celebration assembly on Monday.
