Pre School thoroughly loved our STEM challenge this week! The children had to use the primary colours to make secondary colours. They said it was like magic as they watched the liquid 'walk' up and down the paper. The children sat and observed the colours mixing, as they did, they predicted the…

Year 2 had an absolute blast at Imagine That today! The science workshops were an incredible way to spend STEM week! 

Our third and final STEM challenge was to create a maze to navigate the Bee-Bots through!
The children worked in teams to complete the challenge. They had to decide on the directions and then and the sequence to code the Bee-Bot. 
Great work Year 1!

As well as getting a chance to explore, Year 3 children enjoyed a number of different workshops and got to back slime ( a huge hit!! ), never melting snow, bath bombs and magnets. They also enjoyed a Science workshop which was fascinating.

Year 4 have loved today’s STEM activity! We have been creating box girder bridges using slabs of chocolate and welding them together by melting the sides of the slabs together. It did get rather sticky!

Year 5 really enjoyed their taster day at Our Lady Queen of Peace high school! 

Year 2 had a challenge on their hands today, a STEM challenge! Who could build the tallest and most stable structure using cocktail sticks and marshmallows?! This was so much harder than we expected! We quickly realised that if we had a stronger base, the structure would have more support and we…

Year 3 really enjoyed their latest STEM challenge to design a tall tower out of cocktail sticks and marshmallows. It led to some great discussion and teamwork as the children worked together to try to make the tallest tower. They kept finding out that their structures struggled to stay up on their…

Reception were set a challenge to build a home for their little pig, buuuut, the big bad wolf was coming to huff and puff, and blow their houses down! Whose home would pass the challenge? All of them! They were brilliant!

Pre School have enjoyed the story 'Giraffes Can't Dance', they were very shocked when Gerald the giraffe turned up at Pre School. The children experimented with different construction items to see how tall the giraffe was. They spoke about the importance of being safe whilst using the different…

Year 5 enjoyed designing their own towns this afternoon, looking at where residential, commercial and industrial builds should go! 

Year Six kicked off their STEM week learning by learning how engineers and mathematicians help to plan the towns we live in! 

We discussed how to provide ample space, amenities and recreation opportunities for a town like Skelmersdale, and took inspiration from our own town's…
