STEM Stations

We began STEM stations today in the Junior Room. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. We had the following stations:

1. Science: Using magnets to make the witch from Room on the Broom fly across the night sky

2. Technology: Coding. The children completed challenges on the app 'Daisy the Dinosaur' to introduce them to coding

3. Engineering: The truck carrying Ms. Keane's new shoes is stuck at a river! Using only pasta and playdough, the children had to construct a bridge to get truck across.

4. Maths: the children made numbers from connecting blocks. Seniors had to write the number words and 1st Class explored place value too. 

The stations were loads of fun, and a great hands-on way for pupils to explore these important subjects!
