STEM Club Party!!

Following fantastics efforts in tricky circumstances (we hadn't realised all the materials were not there) last week this week we came up with 'The STEM Club end of year party'! Pupils were split into three teams according to their requests .

The engineering team built the barbeque's and got them going.
The 'Mains' team created the extra's for the burgers including kebabs.
The 'Drinks Dessert team' made Non-alcoholic cocktails and smoothies for dessert.

The parents and staff came and helped eat it all!

Well done to all the pupils who have attended our first year of STEM club and here's to September!

Actually it was 22nd June - Egg Day 1!!

This week we had a competition to see who could make the best egg protector. We had a box of materials including bubble wrap, cardboard and plastic bags. We were given around 20 minutes to plan and make our designs. When time was up we went out side to launched our eggs to see which ones would crack and which ones wouldn't. Before we launched our protected egg we all had a go at throwing a normal egg to see if we could throw it so it wouldn't break. Three people managed to do this while the rest of them just broke. Then it was time to launched our protected eggs. We took it in turns to throw our eggs down the hill. The one who got the furthest would be the winner. After we had throw them all we went to check on them. One of the hardest parts was getting the egg out of the many layers of plastic bags and bubble wrap. The egg that had gone the furthest unfortunately cracked so we had to go to the next furthest. The winner of the furthest was John gan. We also had a winner for the prettiest looking which was won by Olivia and Sophie. People with eggs left had the chance to get the teachers back. As the teachers stood in a line the pupils with eggs lined up waiting. The only rule was that your egg had to bounce before it hit the teachers. Unfortunately none of the teachers were hit... ...better luck next time
