Primary Two have been learning all about Science through our STEM workshops.

This week we all went along to a STEM workshop in the hall.  We took part in a series of differ Science experiments and challenges. One of the challenges involved making a bridge out of paper, in another challenge we put mints into coke and watched what happened. We all really enjoyed taking part in the different experiments and would like to thank the STEM junior leadership team for making this possible.
