We’ve been enjoying learning about butterflies and have worked hard at learning to quill too. Here are some photos of us creating our beautiful butterflies.
Butterflies
Mars Rovers
Our House Challenge this month is to name, design and create a Mars Rover (see our google classroom for full details and helpful links.)
To help out with some ideas, we checked out a few websites in class and of course learned from Dr Mathur’s presentation on Monday.
And then we built our first prototypes….with varying degrees of success. Mrs Kelly was really impressed with our team work and problem solving as we worked to improve sections of our prototype as we built it. Here are some pictures of us working and videos of our rovers moving.
STEM visitor
Today we were fortunate enough to have a visit from Captain David Adams. who used to be in the Merchant Navy. This is where his interesting oil and gas was sparked and he now works in this industry.
He gave us lots of information about subjects that are important to learn about in school to help us enter STEM careers in the future.
He then went on to tell us about the importance of oil and gas in current times and explained how oil and gas technology has developed over time. Describing the journey of oil to refineries to our homes through time.
