Mrs Martin had set up lots of STEM provocations in the Innovation Station for us to explore. We had a go at coding on ScratchJR, using cutting materials at junk modelling, creating marble runs and even building complex LEGO models - have a look at our wonderful work!
STEM Week Special Visitor! 💡🔌
Next up, we had a very special visit from Mr Murray's brother Gordon who is an electrician!
He shared what he does as his job, and talked about the importance of electricity in our lives. We discussed how you need to be safe to work with electricity and even got to have a look at all of his cool tools!
Thank you so much to Gordon for visiting and telling us all about how STEM is so important in your job!
Gordon brought an example of a generator to show how we use electricity to light up our homes.
J got a chance to power the generator with a power tool!
Gordon taught us all about how electricity works inside the cables and the importance of being careful.
M and L got to have a go at stripping the wires to reveal the cooper centre which conducts the electricity!
We have been using our Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematical skills this week to engage in a range of activities linked to STEM. Our first task, a bridge has become weak due to heavy rainfall, and we needed to design and construct a bridge that would hold a train up. P3 took on the challenge and used a wide range of resources to create their bridges - take a look!
Welcome to our IDL Learning Context Open Afternoon! 🗺️
This week, we invited families in to showcase our learning linked to our Ancient Egyptians learning context. We wrote stories about travelling back in time, explored ancient hieroglyphics, painted Egyptian sunsets and even got to construct some pyramids!
Thank you to all who came along to see you learners!

We have been working on a range of balance, rolling and moving skills this week. Miss Reynolds set up 5 stations for us to work on different skills.
I like the tall box, I am working up the confidence to roll on it.
My favourite is the climbing wall. I like to see how high I can shimmy up the rope.
I managed to climb to the highest point on the climbing frame- I am proud of myself.
