Today P3/4 visited Lakehead Farm in Closeburn with RHET. We have been learning about technology in the workplace. Sam, Jess and Amy showed us around the farm. They showed us technology they use to assist with looking after the cows.
3 Fridays ago, the whole school did a STEAM challenge for a roller coaster made out of artstraws, a paper cup, a ping-pong ball, sellotape, cardboard and scissors. (It won’t let me insert the image of it, sorry)
My group had finished our’s first so Me and Cameron made something out of the spare bits, meanwhile the rest of our group decided to colour in the base of the roller coaster.
In the end we all had a pretty good roller coaster, as well as a really good miniature village which Me and Cameron had made out of the spares.
I loved our little roller coaster, but now it is packed away, probably crushed by the other ones 🙁 .
Thanks for reading! 😀
We went through lots of STEM Challenge stations – like mazes towers and other things.
On Friday we had our first whole school STEAM Afternoon of the year. We were focusing on working as a team to make an accessible Paralympic podium.
P3/4 were visited today by two STEM Ambassador from the University of Edinburgh called Alex and Amber. They helped us to programme using the Micro:bits. We created Data Monsters which could tell us the temperature.
P3/4 have been learning to solve design problems with Lego and programming using Lego Spike kits with Mrs Hall from the DG STEM Team.
