One of the highlights of this term was the visit of an electron microscope right here at Mitcham Primary School!
Our enthusiastic science teachers, Mrs. Doull and Mrs. Brace, led the students on an extraordinary journey into the microscopic world, opening their eyes to the wonders that exist beyond what meets the naked eye. The electron microscope, provided by Inspire Education, brought the tiniest details of various objects into sharp focus, creating a week filled with awe and discovery.
Throughout the week, students had the opportunity to examine a diverse range of specimens, including insects, flowers, and various materials. The electron microscope revealed intricate details that are often overlooked in our day-to-day observations. The sense of wonder and amazement on the students' faces was truly heartwarming as they discovered the hidden beauty of the world around them.
Mrs. Doull and Mrs. Brace did an outstanding job guiding the students through this hands-on learning experience. They explained the scientific concepts in a way that was both engaging and sparked curiosity and encouraging questions from our young scientists.
In addition to the microscopic explorations, students were also involved in interactive activities and discussions, further enhancing their understanding of the microscopic world. The week was not only educational but also a lot of fun, as the students actively participated in each session with enthusiasm and curiosity.
We would like to extend our thanks to Inspire Education for bringing this incredible learning opportunity to Mitcham Primary School. Such experiences play a crucial role in inspiring a love for science and fostering a lifelong curiosity for the world around us.
As parents, we encourage you to engage with your children about their experiences during this special week. Ask them about the objects they observed under the microscope, and perhaps, even try exploring the microscopic world together at home!
