Engineering Challenge

Matthew from Doosan Babcock visited Primary 2 and Primary 6 to set the pupils their Engineering Challenge and to tell them about the world of Engineering. Matthew is a former pupil, and we are very lucky to have him visit the school countless times over the last few years to help develop links to the world of work.

The Primary 2 classes will create a shoebox model car linked to the Rainforest whilst the Primary 6 classes will create a remote controlled car.

We cannot wait to see the end products!

 

STEM Day: Resource Appeal

Hello!

Our STEM Ambassadors have been working extremely hard preparing for our whole school STEM day on 14th February, creating plans, activities and tasks based on Global Goal 2: Zero Hunger.

In order to fulfill our plans, we need your help! If you could please collect for us any recyclable goods – for example, cardboard boxes, glass jars (washed out if you can 🙂 ), yoghurt pots, bottles and other goods.

We would also welcome any donations of old shoes, guttering, wood or anything locally or sustainability made.

If you could please send any small donations in with your child and they will be delivered to P2K, P4B or P7C. If you have anything larger you wish to donate, please drop it in to the school office and it will make its way to our classrooms. Alternatively, please contact us if you have anything you’d like to hand in, but are unsure as to how to get it to us.

As always, thank you for your support; it is very much appreciated and allows us to develop the ideas of our pupils.

Best,

STEM Ambassadors, Mrs Kane, Mr Burrell and Miss Cauley

STEM Youth Ambassadors

Hello everyone!

We are so very excited to begin our journey to becoming STEM Youth Ambassadors and spreading awareness and fun of STEM subjects around the school.

The STEM group will meet once a week on a Tuesday at lunchtime. If it is at all possible could we please ask that your child comes to school with a packed lunch each Tuesday, to allow us to have our full lunchtime to discuss all things STEM! If not do not worry we will make sure your child has enough time to eat their school dinner :).

Dates:

Tuesday 17th December

Tuesday 7th January

Tuesday 14th January

Tuesday 21st January

Tuesday 28th January

Tuesday 4th February

Tuesday 11th February

We look forward to updating you soon with all of the exciting projects we have lined up for the rest of the year.

Many thanks,

Mrs Kane, Mr Burrell and Miss Cauley.
