At the end of October we split into groups and were tasked with solving a number of Halloween riddles on our Active Walkway. We could not walk between the stations unless it was 'Halloween themed' movement!🎃

Each month we have had a different STEM project to complete at home and then complete against our class mates.

In September we had to design and build a catapult, from household materials, capable to firing a marble at a tower of paper cups from 1m away. It was great to see all the different designs our classmates utilised. 

In October we had to design and build a self propelled car from household materials. Most of us used the tension in a wound up elastic band as a means of powering the car and some used the power of air escaping a balloon to push our cars forward. 

In the month of November, to link in with our WW1 learning, we had to design and build a parachute capable to supporting a LEGO soldier falling to the ground. The only catch was that the parachute had to fit inside a small matchbox. 🪂
