#BSBDY9 are using data loggers to investigate acceleration having lots of fun using technology in the classroom ⁦Bolton School⁩ ⁦Nic Ford FCCT⁩ ⁦Philip Britton MBE⁩

#BSBDY8 have started looking at magnetism. They are investigating how to make an induced magnet, trying to make the longest chain of induced magnets. ⁦Bolton School⁩ ⁦Philip Britton MBE⁩ ⁦Nic Ford FCCT⁩

#BSBDY7 and #BSBDY8 Astronomers have been looking at the life cycle of stars. They have made these brilliantly detailed posters to show the different stages ⁦Art at Bolton School Boys' Division⁩. Well done boys! #BoltonCreate ⁦Bolton School⁩ ⁦Philip Britton MBE⁩

#BSBDY9 have been presenting their Big Bang in Bolton projects with our expert judges ⁦Nic Ford FCCT⁩. These projects have helped given them an insight into STEM careers. 👏👏 proud of you all! #boltonInspire ⁦Bolton School⁩ ⁦Philip Britton MBE⁩

#BSBDY10 Stoner Prize finalists have been presenting their Physics topics tonight. They have all done a brilliant job showing us their Physics knowledge and presenting skills. All the judges were really impressed! ⁦⁦Philip Britton MBE⁩⁩ ⁦⁦Bolton School⁩

#BSBDY9 have been making Galileo telescopes to observe with tonight 🤞⁦Patterdale Hall⁩ ⁦Bolton School⁩ ⁦Philip Britton MBE⁩

#BSBDY8 have been looking how we know what elements are in the stars ⁦Patterdale Hall⁩ making their own spectroscopes 🌈 ⁦Bolton School⁩ ⁦Philip Britton MBE⁩

Our annual comet making activity ⁦Patterdale Hall⁩ was a success. Learning about what they are made of and where they come from ⁦Bolton School⁩ ⁦Philip Britton MBE⁩ ⁦Nic Ford FCCT⁩

#BSBDY7 made their own illuminated constellation boards ⁦Patterdale Hall⁩ learning about constellations and asterisms ⁦Bolton School⁩ ⁦Philip Britton MBE⁩ ⁦Nic Ford FCCT⁩

We have had a great weekend ⁦Patterdale Hall⁩ thank you for looking after us. See you again next year 💫⁦Bolton School⁩ ⁦Philip Britton MBE⁩ ⁦Nic Ford FCCT⁩
