STEM, Neurodiveristy and More!

We have had a busy, fun filled week in P1C!

As it has been STEM Week, we discussed our Woodland and what creatures we may find living there. We thought the Woodland is the best place for minibeasts to stay so we decided to create little habitats for them. We carefully selected the items we used to ensure the minibeasts would want to live in our special habitats.

“We made houses for minibeasts.”

“I made a house for a ladybird!”

“We had to pick up things that would be good for minibeasts like grass and sticks.”

 

For STEM week, we also enjoyed the six brick Lego challenge. We only had six Lego bricks and we had to complete different challenges like creating a tower with all the Lego bricks, this was a lot tricker than we thought it would be! We also had to complete challenges like copy the building and create different items, it was so much fun and we all worked so well together.

“It was really hard and I enjoyed it!”

“We only had 6 bits of Lego and had tricky challenges.”

“My favourite challenge was trying to copy my partners building.”

“My favourite was challenge was trying to make an animal.”

We have also celebrated Neurodiversity this week, we explored what Neurodiveristy means and looked at how we are all different and what makes us special.

“We drew what we are good at because we are good at different things.”

“Neurodiversity means everyone has different brains which is so cool.”

We were also super lucky this week as Mr. Monkey wrote us a letter! In his letter Mr.Monkey explained he had been trying to learn his common words like us but sadly he had got a few wrong! We discussed what we could do to help him and decided to write him a letter back telling him to continue to use his growth mindset and keep working hard. We hope he writes to us again real soon!

“Mr Monkey wrote us a letter so we wanted to write him a letter back, I told him about school and gave him some words to try.”

“Mr Monkey was so excited to get our letters!”
