We have been learning about STEM subjects – Science, Technology Engineering and Maths – and designing and building various things like spaghetti bridges and aerodynamic objects.

Lewis W – its good because it will help if you want to become an engineer

Annabelle – its good because you also learn from your mistakes.

Ben W – I like it because it grows your mind bigger and helps you when you run into situations like it.

We continued with our People Who Changed the World learning, and found out about Nelson Mandela, we even got to read the book his great grandchildren have written and it was a signed copy.  Mrs Wood interviewed the Mandela Family at the Book Festival and she talked to us about them.  We also learned about Malala Yousafzai who was shot by the Taliban for wanting an education.  She is now a Nobel Peace Prize Winner and someone who we all respect.

Best learning this week:

Sophie – I liked doing the s1 maths work as it was challenging.

James – I liked STEM because I like experimenting.

Olivia – I liked reading the Malala story because it is interesting.

Emma & Evan – We liked learning about the Mardi Gras as part of our RME.

Ben W – I liked drawing our Nelson Mandela portraits, it was really fun.
