Science Workshops- On Monday and Tuesday of this week, Techniquest visited our school with a mobile planetarium and provided workshops on Earth and Space for our Year 9 pupils.  These workshops form part of the 'Raising the Heights' programme funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, which most of the year groups are involved in. This programme is aimed at raising the profile of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics amongst pupils, especially females. The pupils were able to take a look at the night sky, whilst receiving a detailed and very interesting commentary about it. Following this they learnt about space missions and were even given the opportunity to design a space craft. The pupils who took part in this activity thoroughly enjoyed it and gained a good understanding of the need for Space missions in order to discover more about the solar system and beyond.
