The Year 5 pupils worked in teams of five for an enterprise challenge where they had to develop and make a soap product. Pupils made the soap in science, developed packaging for their product in technology, designed an advert in computing and performed a persuasive advert in English! Science Teacher, Mr Cox, who organised the event said, "Pupils had a fantastic day developing their STEM skills and loved the variety of activities. There was a huge variety of soaps designed with brilliant names and designs." All the participating schools were fantastic, the overall winners of the day were New Longton CofE Primary School whose engaging and persuasive advert tipped the judging in their favour. Thank you to our Year 7 pupils who supported the event and made our young guests feel very welcome: Yusuf A, Zishan H, Oliver C, Alfie C, Megan B, Aiden M, Zara W, Sophie P, Thomas E, Jazmin K, Saachi R, Tancho T #### Slide show, please scroll>> [Science](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/science) [Technology](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/technology) [Primaries](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/primaries) [ What's the music this week? w/c 27 March](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-03-27-what-s-the-music-this-week-w-c-27-march) [Mrs Elliott's cool reader's club - DaMari ](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-03-29-mrs-elliott-s-cool-reader-s-club-damari) ### Penwortham Priory Academy Crow Hills Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0JE 01772 320250 ### Useful Links - [New Year 7 Transition](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/transition) - [The School Day](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/the-school-day) - [Facility Hire](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/facility-hire-at-priory) - [Term Dates](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [Letters](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/letters) ### Useful Links - [Newsletters](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [OFSTED](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/ofsted-report) - [Online Payments](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/internet-payments) - [Staff Contact](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Vacancies](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/vacancies) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/priorystc) - [X](https://twitter.com/@priorystc) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/penworthampriory/) Penwortham Priory Academy Trust is operating as a single academy trust.
