STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math

Welcome back to STEAM for 2026!It has been wonderful to see all the smiling faces returning and ready for another year of creativity, curiosity and hands‑on learning.

Our Bridging students have jumped straight into an exciting STEAM challenge this week as they worked together to save Fred D. Worm on his adventurous travels. Each activity put their Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths skills to the test, while also building teamwork, resilience and problem‑solving.

Fred found himself in all sorts of tricky situations, and our students were quick to help! They:

• Put on Fred’s life jacket without touching him directly, using clever planning and tool use.
• Engineered a flying machine to help Fred glide safely down the mountain.
• Built a bridge, designing sturdy structures to support him on his journey.
• Submerged Fred without getting wet, exploring buoyancy through hands‑on experimentation.

It’s been a fantastic start, and we’re looking forward to an exciting year of STEAM adventures ahead!

Stay happy,

Mrs Whiteley
