3. It’s much better now that our resources are organised! Before PSQM After PSQM “We work really hard during our lunchtimes to tidy and organise our science resources. The cupboard is really organised now, which means we can have cooler lessons!”

9. Science crew Congratulating The winner of a Science crew competition. Children learning about how Smoking affects our bodies. Year 4’s enterprise project.

10. We value science at PBA! Before PSQM “My teacher talks too much and then we don’t get chance to do the investigation!” “I wish we could do more investigations.” “I don’t like it when we have to do lots of writing in science.” After PSQM “When I grow up I want to be a scientist!” “I love doing science blasts, especially when we make things explode!” “I like it when we get to go outside for science, like when we identified the trees on our school field.”
