Year 6 Science Fair
Fri 03 May 2024Earlier this term, students from Year 6 were selected to participate in this year’s Big Bang Science Fair which was held at Herts and Essex. Prior to the event, over the course of three weeks, children worked collaboratively to research, design and carry out their own scientific investigation. For the event itself, children displayed the results and scientific conclusions that they made and created an immersive presentation. Throughout the day, our science teams shared and demonstrated their scientific research and experiments to over 200 visitors. Although we didn’t win any of the judged categories in the competition, the children made Summercroft proud, and their budding confidence was on full display.
Congratulations on all your hard work: Fraser, George, Drew, Ibrahim, Davide, Dulcey, Eva and Yana.

Summercroft is Proud to Help the Royal Society's Young People's Book Prize 2023
Tue 06 Feb 2024The Royal Society's Young People's Book prize shortlist was chosen by a panel of five adult judges and they have asked 10,000 young people in schools across the country to form their own judging panels to read, discuss and judge the books themselves. The books shortlisted are:
· A Bug’s World by Dr Erica McAlister
· Am I Made of Stardust? by Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock
· Bodies, Brains and Bogies by Paul Ian Cross
· Deadly and Dangerous Animals by Ben Rothery
· Live Like a Hunter Gatherer by Naomi Walmsley
· Step Inside Science: Germs by Sarah Hull.
Summercroft are proud to be one of the selected schools to review the six books and are very thankful to a team from Year 6 who have carefully reviewed the books on four criteria- interest, look and feel, ease of reading and inspiration - and have come up with our top title which was Live Like a Hunter Gatherer by Naomi Walmsley. We have fed back this back to the Royal Society so together we can decide the final winner for 2023. All the shortlisted books will be in the school library for everyone to look at over the next few weeks. Have a read and let us know which is your top pick!
