UKS2 Science competition

The children in UKS2 have the opportunity to take part in a competition which Miss. Whipps will announce in assembly tomorrow. It’s called ‘Superbugs- Join the Fight’ which revolves around the harmful  consequences of antibiotic resistance. Children can enter as an individual, pair or group of up to four.  They can create a poster, song, storyboard, app design, poem, etc about the overuse of antibiotics. Children can conduct research in order to learn about ten dangers of this prevalent issue today. The NHS are trying to reduce the use of antibiotics for many reasons; one of the biggest reasons is that they are not effective against viral infections and therefore won’t be as helpful when they are really needed by an individual. Miss. Whipps has the entry forms- please encourage your child to enter. Prizes have yet to be announced but previous winners have won an all- expenses paid visit to the Science Museum for them and their class.
