ARTS and STEM

As part of an incursion by Earth Ed., Miss Feely visited Beaufort Primary School to the delight of students (and staff). Prep to Year 2 students enjoyed a day of working with Indi robot cars. Students worked collaboratively to explore, discover, problem solve and map pathways for the robot cars to drive automatically. It was wonderful to hear the conversations and watch the excitement from each group as the different car functions were discovered and hear the celebrations of mini and overall successes. 

As part of her teaching placement, Miss Gale presented Year 5/6 STEM classes exploring domes. The topic is linked to the class mentor text How was that built?'. Students were challenged to design and build a dome structure using a variety of available resources. The pairs approached this task with a wide range ideas, designs and construction techniques. Next week, students will complete the building phase and will test the strength of each dome with small weights. 

In Art, students have been exploring the Elements of Art. We have looked at Line and Form.
