STEM Week in P7

We have enjoyed a week packed full of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM)!

Read on for more information.

Alice – In Maths we started the week looking at symmetry in real life by doing a symmetry scavenger hunt in the playground, garden and field.

Aimee – We also looked at tessellation in real life and we found that this appears in nature in a pineapple and a honeycomb (as well as many other things).

Callum – We then used 2D shapes to tessellate our own patterns.

Avelon – We were very creative and made our own shapes to tessellate.

Joshua – We used technology to learn about renewable energy. We researched 10 facts and shared these with our group.

Rebecca – We combined our knowledge of renewable energy and 2D shapes to make model windmills!

Charlie – We also had a STEM focus in writing where we used our imaginations to think about our ideal job and linked this to STEM by considering what our lives and daily routines would involve. Our title was ‘If I Was A …’

Sally – In PE we started our fitness block by doing some Crossfit exercises.

Catherine – We also worked in groups to make a presentation on our idea for the new class charter theme. We presented this to the class and the winning team was Disney and Marvel so we will be starting to create this next week.

Aidan – Before the holidays our homework was to create presentations about an aspect of America which we were interested in. This week we have enjoyed sharing our talks with our classmates and learning even more about America.

Dallas – Today we had committees and went swimming.

Have a great weekend!
