We worked in groups and used our engineering skills to create different structures with the K’Nex. We built a wide range of creations including a theme park, lawnmowers, cars, stadiums and ferris wheels 🎡
Even more STEAM WEEK! 🧬
We have been participating in the East Renfrewshire Sumdog Competition and today managed to climb to 2nd in the table for the authority.
We then had a visit from Dr Joyce who told us all about her role as a paediatrician. We learnt about the aftercare given to premature babies, CPR and doctors care for children in the hospitals.
STEAM WEEK – Makedo Challenges 🔨
Today as part of STEAM week we completed MakeDo challenges. We made a variety of creations including an arcade, a bridge and bionic arms 💪🏼
We worked collaboratively in groups to reach our goals ✨
STEM Buoyancy Challenge ⛵️
We worked in pairs to complete a STEM challenge focused around buoyancy ⛵️ we were given tinfoil, a straw, toothpicks and lollipop sticks to create a boat. We tested whether it could float and added coins to see if the structure could handle additional weight 💰
K’Nex Final 🌉
Today we held our class final of the P6, K’Nex challenge. First, we planned out our designs in our jotters with our partner and considered the different stages of the build, colours and patterns that we wanted to include.
We then had one hour to create our structure there was a wide range of different creations including drawbridges, famous landmarks, wheels and rockets 🚀
