At the Somersfield Academy Science Fair on February 20, the school's gym was transformed into a showcase for student scientific investigations. One hundred students, aged 11 to 14, presented projects on topics like plant growth and alternative energy. Judged by 24 local scientific experts, the fair highlighted the students' understanding and creativity. Notable winners included Chris Doherty with "Can Coke and Candy Give You Gas?" and Giles Lorimer Turner with "Ant Invaders." Head of Middle Year Programme Science, Sharlene Young, praised the event as a highlight of the year.
