What we have been doing in STEAM

 

Prep

 A continued focus on teamwork, our school values, and the Learner Assets; in particular the micro-skills that contribute to becoming a Collaborator have been evident during STEAM. Through a series of highly engaging activities, the students have been growing in their ability to assist others to solve a problem. 

 

Year 1/2

The Animated Wonders program continues to go from strength to strength. The showcase at the end of this term will be outstanding!

 

Year 3/4

Students have now entered Season 2 of the MineCraft EDU Cyber Castle Challenge. It has been incredibly rewarding watching the level of engagement and listening to students fluently talking about the Cyber Security Lifecycle.
