S.T.E.M Week
S.T.E.M Week- what we did on Stem Week
Monday –
On Monday the part of STEM we did was Science (Physics and Chemistry) and engineering.
On Monday we built ramps and tested them to see how far the cars would travel when they went down the ramps also to test which ramp was the best with height and length. Another thing we did on Monday was draw a euro tunnel and we did journey activities. The journey activities included life cycles, linking animals and many more. we also made paper aeroplane’s and through them to see how far they could go, and we tried to get it better every time to see if we could go further. Also we learned about different types of rocks and a little about volcano eruptions, we did our own volcano eruption.
Learning intention: I can make something then if something is wrong fix the mistakes.
Next steps: to try and test the ramps a little bit better.
Tuesday –
On Tuesday the part of STEM week we did was engineering.
On Tuesday we took a trip to Peter head and visited JBS and score and these are both engineering companies. In JBS they had a magician, and we had a little tour of the job site and got to work a crane. At score we got another tour of the job site, we got to see a jet engine and how they test it we got to go into the control room and also got to do an obstacle course and other fun activities.
Learning intention: I understand how to work a crane safely.
Next steps: my next steps are to volunteer for more things next time.
Wednesday –
On Wednesday the part of STEM we did was biology.
On Wednesday we did biology. We watched an episode of David Attenborough (Wild isles) it was about the UK and all the islands around it and about all the animals that live on it. We did some activities on that topic that included living things, non-living thing and animals and plants. (etc)
Learning intentions: I can understand what an invertebrate and a vertebrate.
Next steps: add more information about the animals and plants.
Thursday –
On Thursday the part of STEM we did was biology, maths and technology
On Thursday we had science with Miss Reynolds, we learned about different types of flowers and parts of them. After science we did some work with the robots (bee-bots, rugged robots and dot and dash).
Learning intentions: i can understand how to use the robots.
Next step: to try and understand a little bit more.
Friday –
On Friday the part of STEM we did was biology
On Friday we had more science with Miss Reynolds, and we broke up a flower into its segments, we got to see the petals, eggs and more. We later then put it onto a sheet of paper with tape and labelled everything.
Learning Intentions: I can take a flower apart and find all the pieces and label them.
Next steps:to try and not lose all the pieces of the flower.

Stem Week
Hello ladies and gents we are here to tell you all about stem week. During stem week we had lots of visitors that came into the school and trips that we went on. Everyone had great fun and a busy week. 😀
Infant,
Almost all the infants went to the science centre on Thursday and got to play with an x-ray and bones! They saw robots moving and looked right at them and was speaking (and that may be a little creepy) they made paper air planes and they flew in the air! The ball vortex had some spinning planets and then they used a microphone, and the microphone recorded their voice and made a song with it and on then they saw a sheep poop but had a great laugh! making their own cars was quite fun and then they made waves by rolling a ball of Plasticine and experienced gravity and did some push and pull some people went to Tesco, got fruit and water with colouring competition then got a tour, got products then did their pretend scanning saw the lorries, went to the bakery and saw what happened at costumer service where the money goes up the shoot and into the safe. ✈🍍🍅🍓🍉🥛
Junior,
was making ocean diagrams and learning the ocean food chain then a visitor from I.F.C came and taught them and a visitor came to tell them about the canning process of food and let them try the fish. A day they made a robot obstacle courses, made algorithms then a very special guest came and they were a R.O.V pilot, and talked about how it is made for the ocean floor execrate and they had lots and lots of fun when they made a slimy cornflower slime and got covered but had a great time, next they used scratch and robot iPad apps making explore programs and making sure they don’t crash, became spies by using invisible ink to make secret message! , and I did not know this, but they sure do and that is that non-Newtonian material goes hard if you punch it but if pick up or put it in your finger slowly it turns into liquid and can fall off your hand next they did bubble prints, made paper air planes of different materials and rafts and buildings to get goat or dinosaur (quite a debate on what animal they used) across the water, played with bee bots and read ALL the science books even I can’t do that! 🐟🐠🌅🌊
Extension,
The extension went to the science centre and went to Gray and Adams and got a tour. They made 3 D shapes with sticks and they said they had fun and it looked easy but was a bit hard. They made I-Movies on cycling and had entered a competition at tech fest pollution to stop motion water cycle a college visitor told them about the ocean learning pit reading corner maths N.E.S.C.O.T collage, they did some scratch coding#, used micro bits and bee bots in maths. their tech fest workshop was stem through the ages such as Egyptians and Greeks and how they used stem. They did an engineering challenge and had to build sturdy bridges, chairs and built a ramp and making the chairs from cardboard. at the collage they saw some science and engineering the science was explosions and they made a bottle light on fire. 🚲🔥🧊🥼🥽🔬🧪
Senior,
At score the class was split into two and I was in the first group with half the class and we put on some bright yellow vests and safety glasses (in my opinion it was a little too much) but anyways we went down tons and tons of stairs and then went into this warehouse like place and it felt like it could go on forever Then we saw an engine in testing, a metal X-ray and all the parts that have been sent to them to clean and now I know how much metal can rust over time. After our tour we got to do some activities these were holding an egg on a spoon whilst doing a course
, 
At J.B.S we did not get a tour, but we had A telling us about cooperation, communication, and safety and how they mean a lot at a workplace, school and wherever then some of people used the crane to lift metal and at the end we got sweeties, word searches and a pen. giving people instructions to build a Lego set on a radio phone and lastly having a ruler and a rubber and six coins and making it the same weight now I know what happens offshore. 🌍⛴🚁🌊
~Red nose day!~
Happy red nose day! We have been celebrating red nose day, we have been doing do much activites.
House quiz!
We have done a house quiz! Its when we all meet up in the hall and we put a coin inside our houses box for the people to win! Or think they will win. Then are houses Mormond, Philorth , Fraser and Kinnard. We all answer questions that are on the screen. Whoever gets the most points they win! The winning house was Philorth !! Well done Philorth ! And congrats to the other teams.
Bake off!
Each class has been baking some cupcakes, biscuits and so much more stuff!
