For Engineering day of stem week, we learned about famous Scottish Engineers and famous women engineers. We read the information with our partner and then had a competition to see who could remember facts and who could answer questions related.

P6/7 & P7 then participated in groups in a challenge to design and make a table structure using cello tape, scissors and paper/ newspaper. We discussed the process involved in engineering: designing, building, testing, reviewing and adapting. This task was tricky and we had to work together, listen, debate ideas and try different structures to make sure it is study and with a table top (cardboard) if it can hold a heavy book.

To complete this task, if anyone has any spare cardboard boxes or cereal boxes etc around the house, could P6/7 please collect it for Thursday 10th October? Thank you!😊 We can’t wait to test them and see who has a sturdy, strong and stable table!
