P7 STEM Challenge

STEM in P7

Today, as part of their topic about Australia, Miss Wales taught the class all about the Sydney Harbour Bridge and compared the construction to the Forth Road Bridge. We learned about suspension bridges and steel arched bridges.

Miss Wales then gave each group a set of instructions with the requirements for their group bridge along with a ‘helpful tips’ handout. 

Points were awarded after their time constrained construction for design, strength and teamwork.

Miss Wales was very impressed by our teamwork skills and by the strength of some of our bridges. 

P7 World Book Day

World Book Day 

What a great day to celebrate our love of reading for pleasure.

We designed book tokens, took part in a Footy and Booky online national quiz and took part in a book swap.
We designed front covers  to win the wrapped book (we could only read a short blurb from the book and we couldn’t see what the book was) and we read in the hall which had been turned into a reading den.
We then had an online Teams call with Patna Primary to take part in a book cafe where we recommended books to each other and shared what we had been doing as a school and within our community to encourage more reading for pleasure.
