The children thoroughly enjoyed their VR experience today. Using the VR equipment we looked at the skies. We went to the Moon and then to Mars. Finally, we went under the sea! The children loved seeing all of the pictures.

STEM – Measuring Part 2
Today we extended our learning about measuring and took the trundle wheels out onto the pitch. The children enjoyed walking around and counting the clicks. We know that every click represents one metre.
STEM – Measuring
The children have been learning about measuring using standard units. We have been focusing on centimetres and metres. Our first task was to work in a pair to measure items in the playground using either a metre stick or a measuring tape. After we had measured various items we met in the Outdoor Classroom to discuss our results.
Plastic Awareness Workshop
The senior pupils organised a fun session to encourage us not to use as much ‘single use plastic’. The children sorted rubbish and looked at what could be recycled. They also estimated how long it would take for certain items to biodegrade and carried out a mini task to remove rubbish from sand. The final activity was to throw bottle lids into a jar while missing drawings of a beach or river etc. The children clearly understood that they should recycle or put their rubbish in the bin so that it did not end up elsewhere.
Hit The Button
As part of STEM Fortnight we have been using different methods of carrying out our calculations. Here we are having a go at ‘Hit the Button’. We have now set up a rota so that children get a regular chance to use this resource.
