We are Engineers

Good Morning,

The children have been working very hard during our STEAM month, taking part in lots of fantastic learning experiences and leading their own learning.

This week our focus has been on engineering, which has worked well as the children asked if they could make their own water park.  They planned what resources they would need and worked well together, setting each other tasks to create a fantastic water park.

Once they had completed their water park and were finished investigating it, they decided to create a water slide.  The children      thought very hard and planned out how they could do this.  They put a bucket under the tap of the water butt, to support the guttering and allow the water to flow and used wooden blocks to keep the guttering “stable”.

The children were using lots of fantastic language to describe what they were doing, how things worked and to describe what didn’t work.

Well done everyone!!

     

STEAM MONTH

Good Morning,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the lovely Spring weather.

Today is the first day of our 2021 STEAM Month.  We have planned lots of exciting learning opportunities for the children to participate in and we will be encouraging your children to share their ideas with us, to allow for lots of responsive learning opportunities also.

S – Science (week 1)

T – Technology (week 2)

E – Engineering (week 3)

A – Art & Design (week 4)

M – Maths (week 5)

I have some STEAM shared learning experiences for you to do at home if you wish.  We appreciate how busy everyone is so, please do not feel any pressure to do these however, if you do please email us any photographs of what you and children have been doing.  Our new ECC email is on the shared home learning grid, and I would be delighted to blog these, please note we never put the children’s name on the blog and we never blog without your permission.

I am also sharing our plans of what learning experiences we will be offering your children through the month.

Kind Regards

Mrs Marshall
