To solve the puzzle, each block must contain the numbers 1 through 9. In each block, each number can only appear once in a column, row or block.

If you are thinking of running a Science week, this is for you. A plan on how to have a whole week of Science for all Primary years. Great hyperlinks and you can adapt for your school. This will save you a lot of time. I have great Science units. Please have a look. Science Week Why are we running the event? For fun and to motivate children and staff Raise the profile of science Inform parents Encourage involvement in science Celebrate the science of the school Raise awareness of practical science activities related to the national curriculum. Promote outdoor learning When and for how long will the event be? Science week will take place during afternoon sessions from Monday 10th June – Friday 14th June, but any links to morning sessions of Numeracy or Literacy are encouraged! What will the theme of the event be? INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERY Inventions are important factors in our everyday lives. Children need to understand that without people thinking of better ways to do things, or making contraptions to make work easier, life would be much different for us today and in the future! Discovery This part of our theme will allow children the opportunity to answer ‘what if?’ questions! Discoveries are something new! Something we didn’t know about before. So they are, of course, important because they bring something new into society; it could be new knowledge, a new invention, a new scientific concept, a new idea, anything!! Possible Activities: • Demonstrations/hands on workshops for children • Challenges for the children to tackle at home or in school • Outdoor learning – Encourage opportunities for outdoor learning • Enquiry investigations Children are given an opportunity to focus on a full scale enquiry, without the worries of teaching, but the emphasis is on being a scientist, and enquiring. • Quizzes Paper based quiz for children to research at school or at home or a treasure hunt around school to find the quiz questions, with answers appearing later. • Problem solving activities Using science knowledge to overcome a problem • Displays Display photos of activities as they take place. Where possible create interactive displays in common areas that all children can explore. • Joint planning Year groups can plan joint activities that link with science topics.
