GAA Science👩‍🔬👨‍🏫

This afternoon, as part of Science week, we really enjoyed having a teacher from Great Academy in school with us to teach us all about the solar system. Children re-enacted the solar system and they created their own sundials. ☀️#MadScienceWeek

We had lots of fun welcoming @Inspire_Ashton to take part in the @GreatSciShare 🎈

An astronomical well done to our class of 2023 who are collecting their results today. We’re very proud and look forward to seeing you use all the potential you’ve acquired over the last five years.

Congratulations to Joanne Bates of Great Academy Ashton-Under-Lyne, who called in to collect her prize of a B-191 Optika microscope today. Lovely to catch up and hope you enjoy the microscope!
