STEM – P5a Origami Homework Challenge
Origami is the art of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. This week P5a were set a homework task to create some origami art of their choosing.
Together in class we looked at making a swan and searched online for great instructive videos and guides.
I am blown away with the amount of effort put in by the children! Check out our Origami art below!

STEM challenge P6/5
Our brief yesterday was to design and construct a spaghetti bridge, strong enough to support a weight of 250g.
To build the bridge we only could use pasta, tape and rubber bands. My bridge held 600 grams but the winners held 725 grams so we came 2nd. by Cameron McG
Bridges were very hard to make but most of them could hold two dictionaries for an example ours me, Eve, Cameron and Chiara. by Josh
