Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to our festive science adventure!
This year The Week Junior Science+Nature has teamed up with Winchester Science Centre (and lots of other exciting brands) to offer young people a festive feast of science and nature-themed activities. Plus there are lots of fantastic prizes up for grabs every day.
The online event opens on 11 December 2021 and will last for 12 days (ending on 22 December 2021). Each day we release a fresh URL revealing a new activity. Keep an eye on our Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram accounts to see the links. Each competition lasts only a day, so you’ll need to get your entries in quickly.
