STEM

Throughout Term 4 the Grade Prep-2 and Scotsburn students will be exploring chemical science in STEM. During the term students will be provided with a range of learning experiences, including cooking and consuming the foods they make. 

 

Due to the nature of the activity, I understand that some students may have allergies to the ingredients used in the lessons. If your child/ children have allergies or are unable to consume any of the ingredients listed below, please let me know via Compass email by Wednesday the 15 October so I can make alternative arrangements for your child.
