STEM Challenge
Today in P7S we took part in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) challenge relating to our class novel ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar.
In groups, we had to design and create a free standing hammock out of junk and craft materials which would hold a duplo character. We also tested them to failure to see how much weight they would hold – the winner could hold a staggering 750kg!

A busy term in P2n
We’ve been very busy this term. Our topics have been “Materials “ and “Houses and Homes.”
We have investigated the properties of various materials.

Our museum visit focussed on materials people used in the past and we made our own clay pot. We had a super time.
We have been working with numbers to 100, learning addition and subtraction strategies, time and measurement.
and learning about verbs, adjectives, nouns and alphabetical order.
Happy Holidays

From P6N 🙂
