The session brought science to life, giving pupils the opportunity to explore fascinating ideas linked directly to their National Curriculum learning. ### Curiosity, Investigation and Discovery During the assembly, children enthusiastically predicted outcomes, took part in experiments, and asked thoughtful questions. The atmosphere was filled with curiosity, laughter and awe as pupils explored scientific concepts in a fun and memorable way. The assembly also beautifully reflected **Catholic Social Teaching**, highlighting how science encourages stewardship, responsibility and care for creation. Pupils were reminded of the important role they play in looking after the world around them. A huge thank you to Neil from **Big Science** for inspiring our young scientists and sparking such enthusiasm across the school. ![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/images/661597163_1487794389803367_2750661111617559465_n(1).jpg)![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/images/662514354_1487794393136700_2371094093803575266_n.jpg) [Learning](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/news/tag/learning) [ Bronze Medal Success for Our Y5/6 Hockey Team](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/news/2026-04-08-bronze-medal-success-for-our-y5-6-hockey-team) [Bushcraft Club: A Half‑Term of Outdoor Learning ](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/news/2026-04-13-bushcraft-club-a-half-term-of-outdoor-learning) ![St Joseph’s Catholic Academy](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Joseph’s Catholic Academy Ragworth Road Norton Stockton on Tees TS20 1HR 01642 360401 - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Parents Evening System](https://stjosephsrcnorton.parentseveningsystem.co.uk/) - [Accelerated Reader](https://www.myon.co.uk/login/index.html) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Remote Learning](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/information/remote-learning) - [Online Payments](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) - [Remote Learning](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) - [Year 6 Transition Curriculum](https://bhcet.org.uk/year6transitioncurriculum/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stjosephsnorton/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stjosephscatholicacademy/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Joseph’s Catholic Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-academy-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
