Year 6 Arcade Game STEM Projects
Ezzy and Archie have been working hard after school on their homework 'Arcade Game' project, showing great dedication, creativity, and teamwork. Activities like this help students develop important skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, time management, communication, and collaboration. By engaging in hands-on projects, they not only reinforce their learning but also build confidence, perseverance, resilience and independence, all while having fun creating something of their own.
Year 2: Then and Now
Then and Now: Olden Day Games
As part of our Inquiry unit, Change Over Time – Then and Now, the Grade 2 students have been exploring how games and activities have changed from the past to the present.
On Thursday afternoon, May 28th, the students had the exciting opportunity to experience and play a variety of olden day games. Working through four different rotations, the Year 2 cohort enjoyed activities including:
- Hoops and skipping ropes
- Egg and spoon races
- Sack races
- Bowling and quoits
The students had a wonderful time learning how children played in the past, while developing teamwork, coordination and resilience. It was fantastic to see so much enthusiasm, laughter and curiosity throughout the afternoon!
Lunchtime Electronics Club
Students have had their first taste of the Thursday lunchtime Electronics Club.
It has been a real hit! We look forward to seeing some amazing gadgets in the future!
