This year Eday School hosted an outreach event of Orkney's International Science Festival. We were delighted to welcome Liz Robertson from Esso Science Education to our school.
Liz ran two interactive workshops for pupils and islanders. The first was a technology challenge, in which we made, tested and modified bandrollers, culminating with a great bandroller race! Congratulations to Craig, Louise and Malcolm who were the winning team.
The second workshop explored the properties of wax and allowed us to experiment with colour and design. Several members of the island fire brigade were in the audience, so all aspects of health & safety were well-monitored. All attending went home with a hand-coloured candle.
Thanks very much indeed to Liz for such a great day.
