From primary to Priory: Inspiring our next scientists

Last Monday, Priory's senior science teachers were invited to deliver an assembly at Penwortham Primary School on their school value of 'reflection' through the lens of science. 

Mr Bedford and Mrs Potter took the opportunity to inspire some future scientists, as well as future Priory pupils. Mr Bedford recalled the story of Sir Isaac Newton and his reflections on why the apples from his tree always fell to the ground, leading to the revolutionary theory of gravity.  Mrs Potter recounted the story of Archimedes reflecting on how he could assess the purity of the king's crown before his famous "eureka!" moment.

We received some great feedback from our neighbouring school and the Headteacher Miss Penarski commented, "Thanks to Mr Bedford and Mrs Potter for coming over and delivering a great assembly on Reflection. Our pupils found it very interesting to hear the stories and were talking positively about both science and Priory in the days that followed."
