Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - British Science Week ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_3424.jpeg) 9 March 2026 ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_3424.jpeg) To celebrate British Science Week, Year 5 discussed the nature of curiosity and how it drives our exploration and understanding of the natural world. Each child wrote down a question they would like to answer, and we started by explaining a blood moon. We then explored the aerodynamics of paper planes and worked in groups to develop and improve the initial design. The children worked as scientists, collaborating and testing new ideas.
