On Tuesday P6/7 carried out STEM challenges.  Paper cups were moved magically using string and elastic bands and marble runs of over 50cm were designed by each of the groups.  The budding engineers had a ball using their Metaskills to solve challenges.

Children from P5/6/7 were recently showing their leadership skills by planning and carrying out different sporting activities such as football skills, parachute, dodgeball, jumping, tennis and hockey.  We had a competition to see who were the most supportive and engaging instructors as voted for by the 2 classes.  Our winners were Hannah and Libby who did an excellent job leading a high jump station.  Well done to all instructors who volunteered!
