We had a wonderful week of welcoming primary students into our school to do science workshops.
Mr Eastwood demonstrated some awe inspiring experiments using this year’s British science week theme of Growth. We can’t wait to welcome you again soon.
As part of BSW we have been lucky enough to have Medical Mavericks working with students in school. Medical Mavericks are promoting jobs in STEM that might not be as well-known from a Radiographer, Anatomical Pathology Technologist to Cardiologist.
Students lighted up when they were able to use the ultra sound machine, students looked at a growth plate in Ren’s arm to show that he is still growing. Students took blood from a prosthetic arm using a medical needle, tried Key Hole Surgery, use the infra-red vein scanner as well as using an iPhone to scan their retina.
Students were truly blown away by the experience and are discussing their possible careers in the NHS and medical fields.
A fantastic day – thank you Medical Mavericks!
Students have been chosen to complete an Envision competition. They attended the launch event at the Etihad stadium in Manchester on Friday. The students had to think of an issue that they feel needs solving within school or their community. The decided to focus on educating the students within schools of different cultures and heritage to help combat racism. They came up with “Cultures at CAL”. Watch this space as they start planning their social action project.
