From Primary to Priory:  The Science Dissection!

As the winners of the 2024 Priory Science Challenge, Middleforth CofE Primary claimed the opportunity to have a science lesson delivered by Priory staff. They took this opportunity just before half term, requesting a lesson on heart dissections! 

Science Technician Mr Evans and Head of Science Mr Bedford, made the short journey to Middleforth to deliver the lesson. 

The pupils waited eagerly for the cross-phase collaboration, bringing the Year 6 class face-to-face with the wonders of biology. 

Mr Bedford said, “The pupils were able to recall a wide range of details about the heart including the structure, function, and various parts, before applying their understanding by looking at a dissected heart.

He went on to say, “Their teacher, Miss Howarth, said this is not something they would normally be able to deliver; the class really enjoyed the experience and were grateful to Priory for making it possible.”
