Foundation STEM

This term the Foundation students are exploring a STEM unit on “Fairytales.” Each week the students will be given a STEM challenge to complete about the Fairytale of the week. In week 1 we looked at “The Three Little Pigs” and worked in small groups to design and build a house strong enough that the “Big Bad Wolf” couldn’t blow it down. In week 2 we’ve designed and built a chair strong enough to hold Goldilocks without her breaking it. It has been a wonderful start to Term 3 and the students have been working hard problem solving, making adjustments to their designs and using appropriate materials for their buildings. Check out some of our designs!

A Quick Reminder:

If you could bring in any paper tubes (paper towel rolls or wrapping paper rolls but no toilet rolls please), any toothpaste boxes or empty formula tins with their lids it would be greatly appreciated and used in the Makers Space.
