🦋 Eco Club released butterflies into the flower garden over the past few weeks. 🦋

MPS pupils have been watching the butterflies grow since they were caterpillars! 💙

The butterflies are ‘painted ladies’ with beautiful orange patterns on their wings. ✨

Science club fun building rafts that held over 100 marbles! Much more than we predicted. Nearly there for the @CRESTAwards

🧬 To celebrate #BritishScienceweek @MillfieldSenior Biology students have been delivering workshops to Prep pupils! 🧬

The most recent workshop has been about digestion. 😲👏

🧪 The Year 8 pupils went to the Senior School today for some Faraday science challenges 🧪

They showed great teamwork by solving difficult problems in groups, and presented their findings confidently at the end! 👏🌟

Can you guess what they were doing? 👀

We’re back @MillfieldPrep for science lessons. We’ve been out in the sunshine for a ‘working wonder walk’ to discuss the British Science Week theme: #innovation for the future. Do our goalkeepers need a Wallace and Gromit Soccamatic? Great inspiration for inventors #BSW21

Year 6 are learning about sound. Here they are trying to make paper scream!

🔭 Year 6 have been rounding off their topic ‘Mission to Mars’ in Science this week.

🌱 They looked at what plants need to grow, and decided which seeds might be able to grow on Mars to feed us.
