STEM Fortnight

Over the last two weeks we engaged in variety of STEM activities. The theme of this year’s Stem Fortnight was ‘Innovation for the future’ and our class focus was ‘Vaccinations’. Some of the things we did include: watching a video made by GP showing us the process of Covid-19 vaccination; learning about viruses and vaccinations, making models of Covid virus and origami syringes, participating in virtual meetings with various guests (Paul Tyler telling us about the viruses, vaccines and our immune systems; Rebecca Rawlinson and Laura Leslie talking about their jobs as Structural Engineers). We finished STEM Fortnight with presentations of our own designs of how we could improve the process of immunisation in the future.

#Heartsforhomes Campaign

Recognising that 2020 has been a difficult time for many, for our last piece of writing this year, P5.16 took part in the Hearts for Homes campaigns. The worked hard to create their own ‘Send a Hug’ letters to residents in a local care home to share some kind words, advice and some uplifting and funny letters to help bring joy to the elderly in their community!
