This week, the whole school has been celebrating British Science Week with a fun (and slightly soggy!) investigation into biscuit dunking. From Nursery to Year 6, every class has been getting hands-on with exciting science experiments, all based around one important question—which biscuit is the best for dunking?

Our youngest scientists in Nursery and Reception explored what happens when a biscuit gets wet, linking their learning to The Gingerbread Man. In Key Stage 1, children tested different biscuits to see which would have been the best choice for the Gingerbread Man to cross the river safely!

Moving into Key Stage 2, the investigations became even more scientific. Some classes explored how temperature affects biscuit strength, while others investigated whether biscuit thickness or sugar content makes a difference to dunking durability.

Throughout the week, the children made predictions, tested their ideas, recorded results, and discussed their findings—all while developing their scientific enquiry skills.

We’ve had a fantastic time exploring science in a way that’s practical, engaging, and (most importantly) delicious!

A big well done to all of our budding scientists! 🧪🍪💡
