Year 5 - Shine!

Saturday 25 January 2014

On Saturday morning 6 of our Year 5 children were invited to participate in the launch of The Shine Project at Bancroft's School. On arrival, refreshments of fruit, yoghurt and croissants were enjoyed by the children (along with Ms McKinnon, Miss Bull and Miss Watson) before being arranged into 'houses' via 'The sorting Hat' in true Harry Potter style. Three sixth formers led the groups of eager children and were assisted by our teachers, as they completed a treasure hunt around the school and its' grounds. Finding clues, letters and solving questions kept the excited groups occupied for over an hour, resulting in the need for a further refreshment break!
Refreshed and re-energised, the groups moved into the science labs, where they enjoyed making 'slime' (which they took home) and observed some explosive science experiments!
Despite being a busy morning, the children thoroughly enjoyed it and were extremely well behaved.
Well done to everyone who took part and a very big thank you to Mrs McKinnon, Miss Watson and Miss Bull for accompanying the children.
