We have been busy with our STEM activities in First Class. We were challenged to put on our Engineering hats and design and build a bridge so the leprechaun could keep his pot of gold safe! We had lots of fun building our bridges. We did lots of problem solving as it was tricky to build a bridge that could support our pot of gold! We had to make sure our piers were sturdy and our arches were reinforced to be able to support the gold.
3D shapes for maths groups. We learned a rap and song all about 3D shapes.
Sixth Class children participated in their own Skiing Winter Olympics STEM challenge. They learned about gravity and forces to help them to construct their own participants and ramp.
Another student chose to make a Winter Olympics themed cake as part of the project

We were so excited in first class as we got to design and create our very own playground! We had to build five things in our playground and make sure they worked, this was very tricky. We had lots of fun working together and problem solving! We even got to play with them for golden time!
We had so much fun designing and creating our playgrounds. We had to problem solve lots and work as a team when things did not work out. We were so proud of our work and we even got to play with them during Golden Time!
In First Class we have been learning about our sense of smell. We had to close our eyes and guess what the mystical smell was. We had lots of fun smelling and predicting what the smells were. We found when we closed our eyes our sense of smell felt stronger.
