Our STEM Week kicked off with a bang!
Doctor Sarah-Jane from the Royal Institution delivered two fantastic Explosive Food shows to KS1 and KS2. This involved exploding jelly babies to show how much energy is in food, finding out how important your nose is for taste and doing a fire breathing demonstration! She also gave CPD to staff and delivered a community evening show for parents and pupils. This included some of her food demonstrations, as well as an exciting electricity exhibition.
Thank you to Stuart Culley, from Costain, who delivered an assembly to KS2 children about his work on Testos Roundabout and gave them an insight into civil engineering. Thanks also to Chris Grey, from AECOM, who came in to talk to Y5 and 6 children about his job role and the various career paths that are available to them. They were also introduced to an exciting competition led by Primary Engineers, ‘If you were an engineer, what would you do?’ This is a nationwide competition where the winning design will actually be made by real-life engineers!
All year groups are completing STEM projects in their individual classes. These will be shared on the website soon so stay posted!
