PRIMARY school pupils have enjoyed a week of experiments to celebrate National Science Week.
Visitors to St John's Primary School, Shildon, have helped pupils explore the world of science with talks on everything from geology and magnets to caring for animals.
One of the highlights of the week was Brainstorm, who gave the children the chance to see different experiments through the eyes of magic, before giving a scientific explanation.
Youngsters in Key Stage One enjoyed a trip to Low Barns Nature Reserve earlier in the week, and the Key Stage Two group visited The Life Centre in Newcastle.
Teacher Nicola Swinbank said that the week-long event had been a huge success and had taught the children a lot about science.
She said: "Some fantastic science learning has gone on. The children were really excited."
