STEM WEEK 2024

STEM Week 2024.
We had a great time yesterday with SmartSTEM team. We were learning about engineering and renewable energy and looking at wind turbines. We were set the challenge of building our own wind turbine models with only 1 paper plate, a newspaper and a strip of sellotape. The children worked really hard in their teams to build their turbines.

Unfortunately only 3 of the groups kept their models to bring back to the class.  😥

The winning design is the wind turbine in the middle of the photo.

Colour matching

Despite the damp weather this morning we all had a great time leaning a bit about colours, searching for certain colours then doing some colour matching finding natural materials the same colour as items on old supermarket magazines.

We then looked carefully at some flowers and created our own using buttercups as paintbrushes.
