Today we had our STEM day and what a fantastic day we had.  First we had a great presentation from our terrific STEM ambassador about growing different seeds. We were told that we were going to decorate our own pot to grow some seeds, however we could only decorate our pot with biodegradable materials. We went on a nature walk and gathered different leafs and flowers to decorate our pots. Next, we planted cress seeds. We are excited to watch them grow!

Then we planted a class pot of strawberry seeds after learning all about the different needs of a plant.

We then read a book called The World Came to my Place Today, which told us all about where different materials come from. We noticed that a lot of the materials came from the rainforest, which is our current topic! We were glad to have learned a bit more about it.

Finally, we took part in our cluster STEM mascot competition. We each created a STEM mascot that told us why STEM was important.

We had such a good day and learned lots! Thanks to our STEM ambassador who was a great help to us throughout the day.
