End of term 3 photos



We worked hard on our spring flowerpot entrance. We had a focus of reduce , reuse recycle.


Maths and science week saw us participate in a range of engaging, educational and exciting activities. 
We made fairy bread with a focus on fractions of halves and quarters. 
Followed by an exciting experience of measuring how far popcorn could pop . Then making a popcorn container that would hold the greatest capacity. The students worked with a partner using one sheet of paper only. It’s clear to see we have some budding engineers and designers. 














All the students were very proud of the process they followed and the product they made in STEM this term
