Year 6 STEM Week
This week, Year 6 children have been extremely busy creating miniature fairground rides in their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) projects. The children worked in small teams to design, reflect, construct project frameworks and circuits, and finally decorate their fully functioning fairground rides. It has been a fantastic learning experience!
